Beneath a sky of burning, blazing blue
The prairie’s vastness stretches, calm and wide
Where sun in glory casts its golden hue
And bold the breeze speaks secrets as it glides

Upon his horse rides the lone gunslinger
A shadowed figure, eyes dark and deep

saloons and bars near and far,

winds alive behind my back

the grass
the sand
the snow
through my hooves
the hard hooves
which were infrangible

Sunrise creeping, daylight peeping,

All is silent, all are sleeping.

Alarm clocks whirring, stables stirring,

Dogs start scratching, cats lie purring,

Voices rising (some surmising),

Race day thrilling, people milling,

Horses happy, k...
