Last Evening

The land of 10,000 lakes boy is that true. You all know my many emotional problems but being here at lake Minnetanka at sunset makes me feel like none of those problems exist. Just watching the orange sun slowly and peacefully make its way down over the horizon. The boats have been pulled in, the rain clouds slowly drift away and the gentle waves smoothly come into shore. The birds balance on the wet leaf's making the small drops of water fall upon my head. My family and friends are skipping rocks on the motionless water. I can see the water towers dominate the skyline in the distance on the other islands. Walking on the soft beach with the newly damp sand sinking under the soul of my feet. The moist and damp landscape makes it the perfect weather for a stroll on the lake. Suddenly I run into my first real group of mosquito's crashing into my face and mouth. Again seeing the last glimpse of daylight and sunlight counting down the moment until complete darkness. Then I see the sail boats bobbing up and down in the bay creating a wake of water below them. Now I finally understand the words of Louis Armstrong and his song "What a Wonderful World."
