My heart is a wild horse. 
 
If I rein her too hard 
   she fades beneath me 
   gives me none of her strength. 
 
If I let her run free 
   I am lost in dark lands. 
 
I approach her slowly. 
She takes my scent. 
I curry her with sweet grasses, 
and I lean against her. 
 
One day 
   we race across the plain 
   straight up the mountain 
   and leap into the sun.
