Better Poems
From ink flows meaning. Listen:
When Wildheart lacks lovebeauty
She goes for trinkets,
Seeking to feel the beautiful
she becomes greedy
wanting mere decoration.
what is needed is Love's beauty
Passing through heart as an arrow,
Piercing her numbness;
Like a river
quenching heart's thirst.
she would drop all trinkets if
she could have the love
Of one Wild Horse,
That could not be harmed, stolen, nor changed.
this love would flow like wind.
Leaning on it, she would be borne up------born.
with this love, she'd be stream, not its stones.
Reminds me of what Sai Baba said, "Some come for the tinsel and trash and not what I have to give."
I found your Christmas card drawing.. in which
the branches are dovetailed birds..
very beautiful.. I would like to scan it onto the web
Also would like to scan your lion with lamb
art
O music voiced one, whose sound is the song
of her heart
A call to see and to love no further than each others' perfect, untangled souls...
I think you found it! Especially since the word "trinkets" can apply to any diversion which we use to fill a need which isn't being filled by what we truly want. Good one.

Hi again, Dolores, and again I hope you will forgive me for this incredibly long time (9 years!!!??) in thanking you for your reading this poem with such understanding.
I really liked it. it's so true! WE all try and find love by material thigns but it's not worth it. When I read it, I see the one true love as God. I don't mean to offend you if you're not a bleiever but that's how I see it adn it touched me. Thannks

Nicci, It seems I am 9 years late in thanking you for your lovely comment. I agree with your interpretation. I saw the One Wild Horse as many things, but God as one true love is definitely in there. Can't believe I didn't respond to your comment when I should have. I hope this reaches you.....extremely late as it is.
every time I read this master poem I am reminded to work more in heart centering
