The girl who is left wild,
As she should be,
And not tamed,
Will freely follow her Fox and her Bear,
Wherever they may lead,
For they know exactly where she needs to go.
A girl who is left wild and not tamed
Will trust things wild,
Wild wisdom,
And will walk straight into the heart
Of your decaying civilized world,
Where wildness strains to reclaim what isn’t working,
And she may scare you with what she dares,
But she will show you how to reclaim yourself.
Nice, poetic story. 🙂
I love your repetition (with slight variations) of ‘the gir who is left wild’ for she comes across as this powerful – almost totemic – figure who can liberate others and do things that others do not dare to do. You have caught the wild beauty of her and of her approach to life: I really feel there is a story and an adventure here!
I love the tone and theme of this poem. I love the alliteration and especially like the wording of these lines:
“Wild wisdom,
And will walk straight into the heart
Of your decaying civilized world,” I am captivated by this imagery! Great poem!
Enjoyed this poem reflection on being wild being true to one’s heart.
