a martyr, an outcast
old cowboy
north of laredo
surrounded by prickly pears
cacti among the mesquite
desert sand
pastures of brown
cross-bred cattle roam
his west texas ranch
living on the fringe
old cowboy
saddles up
starting his day again
riding his sorrel
under the hot
desert sun
rolling pastures
a long distance
where outside the city
living on the fringe
a hermit, a recluse
old cowboy
bonds with his brood
horses, cattle and dogs
running freely reign
scorching desert plains
red sun sets
leaving the night heat
for a solitary rattlesnake dance
Sometimes living on the fringe is the best place to be, especially if you're satisfied ,and relatively happy with it...Today's society isn't too nice Dale!I'm on the fringe by choice;-)
Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
