Analysis of Fierce Heart



Thundering horse across the open plains,
I ride for you,
My fate balanced between hoof and reins,
They have taken you away from me,
Pitiful plight in a merciless world,
But I ride,
With courage like the desert sun,
Fierce and unforgiving,
I will free you from their deathly grip,
So do not cry for love and life,
As I thunder on,
Blazing fire of passion spurring,
Leaving dust and ash in my wake,
We will be joined again,
Heart and soul,
As you call out to me,
Oh lover.
