Dust rises in light,
a mighty hoof strikes the earth—
power held in breath.
Within that fierce beating form
my own heart begins to stand.

Courage wears his horns,
broad and unafraid of storms,
eyes fixed on the path.
Through doubt and shadowed valleys
his strength walks beside my soul.

I walk his way,
guided by the charging will
of the ancient bull.
In spirit and steadfast stride
I live a true Tauran life.

By Paul Baldry (LongJohn)

In Heart of the Bull, I reflect on the bull as a symbol of my own spirit—strength, courage, and unwavering direction. Through this image, I see more than an animal; I see the force that steadies my heart and guides my path. In its power and resolve, I recognise the way I strive to live—as a true Tauran.
