The sun sets...

We were once ubiquitous throughout the West, like sagebrush, tumbleweeds, and sunsets.
But, as the sun sets so did our days, technology made an end of us. 
That's why true cowboys are so hard to find.
Oh, but there was a time.

    This is very poetic. I like the balance you got with the words: "like sagebrush, tumbleweeds, and sunsets".

    Made me a bit misty for the time, as rough as it probably was.

    Technology has changed so many things. Some good, some bad. So nostalgic and melancholy. Loved it.

      Thank you Tracie, I'm glad you enjoyed it...the 42 word limit is a challenge for me, being as "wordy" as I am! Lol
