Just like your vagrant tumbleweeds, recollections of you driftYou were handsomethrough my thoughts.
 as your wind burned cowboysYou took me to high places where youwith sagebrush collar
 worn against a craggy jaw.
 revealed a ravaged past,Your moody sands etched a deeper truthand why you wear spines and armor plates
 without apology.
 in my face. Still, in the shady embrace You were a first kiss. 
But, tomorrow is what I dream.of your cottonwood canyons I was renewed.
 And, in purple evenings with moon as bold as day.
 you gave me fortunes in the stars.
     'Till we meet again, Owyhee.
