I cannot help but wonder-
Just how it came to be-
The magic thing that seemed to grow…
Engulfing you and me.

The feelings that words can’t express-
That ‘neath our armors pry…
And leave us sad and empty-
With a deep desire to cry.

Impossible, the fantasy,
Which oft my mind consumes…
With both the chill of winter frost-
And sweetness of spring’s blooms.

The placid peace of mountain lakes-
The pow’r of raging sea…
This tragedy or triumph-
That has captured you and me.

It is amazing what the eye of the beholder sees - you captured this feeling so well.

I enjoyed your poetic diversion this day.  Still love your stores of the old West (or Texas) though
