searching

Under the vast skies, a lone cowboy roams, Seeking the one who'll light up his home. Through the dust and the wind, he wonders, eyes keen, For a love that's elusive, a face yet unseen. Once wild and reckless, now steady and true, His spirit is weathered, his regrets are few. He's not the man he once used to be, But the warmth in his soul is longing to be free. Through prairies and canyons, under stars shining bright, He rides with hope in the cool of the night. For a girl with a spark that matches his flame, A companion in life, in heart, and in name. He may be a cowboy, with boots worn and weathered, But his touch is still soft, his embrace is still tethered. To dreams of a love where passion and peace blend, A journey together, with no need to pretend. So he searches the horizon, with each new day's start, For the girl who will come and capture his heart. Though the trail is long and the search never ends, He knows she's out there, around the next bend.
