The Bone-Dry Prairie: Life Clinging to the Edges of the Earth

The cowboy life teaches one lesson above all—hold the reins, and lead the way.

In a land where dust and sunlight blend,

The prairie stretches, a vast, stark friend.

With grasses bent and a sky so wide,

Life clings to edges where shadows bide.

A lone buckaroo with spirit bold,

Scours the earth for stories untold.

His horse, a trusty partner, stands near,

Together they roam, nothing to fear.

Each morning breaks with a rumbling sigh,

As lonesome winds weave tales that fly.

The cacti bloom, their colors alive,

While grit and hope in the heart survive.

Yet as the sun dips low in the west,

He finds solace in stars, his heart at rest.

Through bone-dry lands, dreams still run free,

In the dance of the prairie, wild as can be.
