Kicking Up Dust on the Trail
The trail might be tough, but a cowboy always finds a way forward.
Beneath the frost, the fence lines gleam,
A silver cloak, a cowboys dream.
The morning air bites, crisp and keen,
As snowflakes dance in the sun’s soft beam.
Old boots crunch through the icy crust,
Each step a whisper, a prayer, a must.
The prairie stretches, bare and wide,
Where winter’s grip and beauty trust.
A lone horse snorts, steam rising high,
With breath like clouds against the sky.
Together they face the biting cold,
Two souls entwined, beneath winters sigh.
Yet in the chill, a warmth unfolds,
In stories shared, and courage bold.
For when the frost melts with the spring,
A new adventure, the heart will bring.
