Cowboy Poetry and Western Verse
A WESTERN NIGHT
Joel T. Bailey
As the sun goes down
And the darkness falls
The West is transformed
Into a home with no walls
Under a mesquite tree
A small fire glows
A cowboy is camped
Where a tiny stream flows
On a moonlit hill
A timber wolf howls
Through the dusty sage
A hungry coyote prowls
Across the cloudless sky
A nightbird glides in flight
In a hole a rattler hides
From the cold of the night
In the dark mountains
The black bear sleeps
Across a rocky ledge
A mountain lion creeps
The cowboy and the creatures
Share a never ending fight
To survive thru the darkness
Of a Western night
