Fears roll away
At the sudden gusts of valor
Before honored drovers
Mounted and stern

I regain balance
From the cavalry charge within
While uncertainty streams away
Peppered mercilessly
With fright and awe

Courage beckons
From the still plains I harbor
Mute and reverent
As the past hardships plume

Full in stature
My footsteps carry on
Driven forth by the raging storm
The tussle beneath my flesh
