[hometext] => I will cast my gaze unto the hills from whence cometh my hope!
[bodytext] => Purple mountains, dark and tall, provide a barrier for us all. Surrounded by the broadening sky, the starlight twinkles in our eyes. A guitar strumming soft and low, songs of the range we long to know. The Cacti seem to point the way to falling stars lit by their blaze. The cattle’s often bellowed moan sounds like the ore boats heard back home. The peaceful night, so calm, so still, allows me to feel that peace is real. And as the leather of my skin is cracked by the sunlight once again, the dust now settled in my beard, tells me there is no place but here. The prairie trail invades my blood and covers me just like a flood. So I shall never feel my plight, while watching stars overhead at night.
