A Campfire For Cowboys


Campfire abound in darkest of night,

Around a fire it's warmth of roasted treats,  

Many awake, many asleep, many loud while they walk the crowd,

Prosed to sing, proceed to dance, and keep your moves,

 

Freinds or foes, but not for those,

Ignore the cold - embrace the fire is starting,

Rich flames gleam - as it's shadows dance with delight,

Equal warmth upon woodstones that burn,

Stars gleaming as bright as the dark black sky, 

 

Informal to sunrise, informal to time 

Narratively under nature, but far past the green,

 

Agreeing to leave their niche, and receive it all again,

 

Cower in bed, last hour of night,  

Optimistic in for the next day, up and out of the neglect,

Wicked wilderness, whisky cabins,

Banel horses, risky roped cows,

Obsequy horses, ostifying all day,

Yells of remembrance come from the night before,

Sealed in the past, but finding the future,

 

Nestle near, but not too far, 

Ingage with a pioneer of your own,

Get together, and enjoy your stay, 

Happly sort your day with your cowgirl and cowboy,

Together at last, the day ends in a soft quiet rest.
