Beneath the lamps, the shadows lie,
While quiet tables wait nearby;
A star above the evening scene
Keeps watch on moments in between.
The footsteps fade, the glasses gleam
The night unfolds, a waking dream;
And in this room of black and white,
Old stories linger into night.

Beneath bright boughs of borrowed cheer,
The waiting crowd stands calm and still;
For hope has long outlived the year,
And patience bends to quiet will.
The city's noise may rise and fade,
Its glitter neither bought nor won;
Yet simple joys, by hearts displayed,
Outshine the splendour of the sun.

Across the square the many stray,
Each bound upon a different way;
Yet Time, impartial, softly weaves
One common tale through all who leaves.

Where dust ascends like incense to the sky,
Man dares the strength no mortal may command;
The bull, with ancient thunder in his eye,
Still writes the law that none can countermand.
For glory's breath the rider takes his chance,
While Fate looks on with neither smile nor frown;
And when the contest ends its fleeting dance,
The victor leaves with bruises—or a crown.

The fearless rider courts the untamed plain,
Where strength is measured not by loss but pain.
The raging bull, with thunder in his stride,
Tests every heart that dares his savage pride.
Though glory blooms but for a fleeting hour,
True courage shines beyond the beast's great power;
For honour rests not only in the crown,
But in the soul that will not be cast down.

Beneath the lion's steadfast gaze,
The restless world pursues its ways;
Stone keeps the years, while footsteps flee
Time builds the arch and fashions thee.

Along the busy, restless way,
Where countless feet pursue the day,
Each bears a burden, light or deep,
Some wake to toil, some dream, some weep.
They meet but for a fleeting hour,
Like leaves that drift beneath the bower;
Yet every face the throng has known
Conceals a quiet tale its own.

A cowboy, a steer, a rope held tight,
Dust rises in the blazing light.
The steer says, “Mate, I’ll choose my way”
The cowboy says, “Not today.”

One waves high, the other fights;
The horses dance, the crowd goes wild
Who needs a rodeo when pride’s beguiled?

The bull said, “I’ll fly!”
The rider said, “Why?”
The crowd held its breath
then laughed at the sky.
With dust in his wake
and his tail held high,
he forgot he was grounded
and so did the guy!

Smile wide.
Horse says, "Let's see who can slide."
Dust flies, the crowd roars loud
grace wrapped in a thundercloud.

The bull said, "Time to catch some air."
The rider replied, "I was never there!"
The clown ran first—experience speaks
while dust wrote headlines across their cheeks.
In rodeo, gravity has perfect aim;
the trick is landing with your pride the same.

One hand high, one prayer unsaid,
while half a ton danced beneath instead.
The bull declared, "You're not the boss!"
The rider answered, "Worth the toss."
Dust applauded, the crowd held breath
a waltz performed with possible death.
When courage wears a crooked grin,
eight wild seconds... everybody wins.

The bull declared, "I'm leaving Earth!"
the cowboy clung for all he was worth.
The clown ran in with fearless grace,
wearing courage on a smiling face.

When pride and gravity disagree,
the ground always wins... spectacularly.

The calf runs first,
the cowboy follows,
the horse merely asks,
"Need a lift?"
A loop finds its target,
dust writes the signature,
and somewhere the stopwatch
holds its breath.
In rodeo, timing is everything
miss by a heartbeat,
and you're just a fellow
out exercising a cow.
