The Cowboy

In barren wastelands a horse called Joe and a
cowboy nobody knows rode into Ranch Wherever.
There he met a woman and upon that day
his life almost got a little better.
She could be good to know, gracing
his room like beautiful feathers.

Her heart wanted to embrace him
but the tumbleweeds kept rolling in.
His heart tried to caress her the best it knew
but the roaming range was his dearest friend.
One starless night the cowboys horse said
"Time to go"; he saddled up right away,
always listening to his horse he called Joe.

He bid her not to forget him, recalling a
few things worthy of remember, and then he rode
off into the sunset, on a sad day in December.
Wrapped up in the the cares of past moments,
two lonely souls had wasted another present moment.
