Poetry: Journey to the Wild West

A Japanese man, with spirit bold and bright,

Left his homeland for the Wild West's sight,

To seek adventure, to find his place,

In a land of cowboys, with wide open space.

He traveled far, across the sea,

With dreams of glory, his heart set free,

Arriving in a land so vast and grand,

With deserts, canyons, and untamed land.

One day, he came upon a scene so grand,

A cowboy, lonesome, in a rugged land,

Lying atop a canyon, horse by his side,

Gazing into the horizon, open and wide.

The cowboy, stoic, with eyes so keen,

His horse, a trusted companion, serene,

The Japanese man was in awe, amazed,

By the cowboy's quiet ways, so unfazed.

The cowboy's gaze fixed on the setting sun,

As it dipped below the horizon, day was done,

Colors painted across the western sky,

A breathtaking sight, that made him sigh.

The Japanese man, with reverence, watched,

The cowboy and his horse, in silence, not botched,

He marveled at the bond they shared,

A life of freedom, a story so rare.

He felt the warmth of the setting sun,

And saw the shadows lengthen, one by one,

The Wild West's beauty, in its golden light,

Filling his soul with wonder and delight.

He realized, in that moment, so clear,

That life in the Wild West, though rugged, was dear,

The cowboy's way of life, so simple and true,

A love for the land, and the sky so blue.

The Japanese man, with respect and grace,

Embraced the Wild West's spirit, a new place,

For he found in its vastness, a sense of belonging,

A connection to nature, so humbling.

And as he watched the cowboy and his horse,

He learned the value of solitude's force,

To be one with nature, to embrace the sun,

To cherish the sunset, when day is done.

With a heart filled with gratitude and awe,

The Japanese man found in the Wild West, his awe,

For it showed him a way of life so pure,

A cowboy's spirit, forever to endure.
