Ummm, well, I found a rare acoustic version of Jewel singing the Rolling Stone's song Wild Horses... "Wild, wild horses... couldn't drag me away..." and that's how I got the feeling that inspired the poem... (encouraged the feeling? Anyway...)

Actually, I wanted to call it Job's Love... (Job, the biblical character...) but couldn't figure out how to make it not be pronounced like job, meaning employment, so I thought, dang, I'll call it Wild, Wild Horses, then... since it (the chorus) was still running through my head as I wrote the poem, etc... I had hoped it would apply, nonetheless...

Thanks, all, for the comments here and elsewhere, BTW... (;
