The Badlands of Arizona

The wilderness in Arizona during cowboy days was for the adventurous to journey far away from their home front into the great divide where wolves and coyotes could take their lives. They were skilled hunters and master trappers that could spot a prairie dog close ready to go up their trousers. With two horses in travel, one for each, one would take a break to stretch a bit. The mountains appeared as a majestic landscape. Cowboys had made it to the badlands today. Their journey for the common good and to find new country brought a mind-set and a certain hunger. Never to be dissuaded, even when one got discouraged, they will conquer their demons and be triumphant from their troubles. As they camped at night, they spoke on destiny. The altitudes they had to sustain were just an achievement once claimed. Why ponder on what could be lost when they came to summit? The acmes they face now. He stands to see the apogees and views the mountains before proceeding. Cowboys in the badlands are oblique. Cowboys in the badlands are circuitous. Cowboys in the badlands are seekers of faith. Today is a day not to abandon. Two cowboys will become jovial and rich. Cowboys in the badlands are self-fulfilled. ___________________________________| PENNED ON OCTOBER 09, 2014!
