simple .

i sit in the tall grass and strum on my six string ..
i am alone this evening .. at peace with the world .. the sun is warm on my face .. i face the river.
i pluck at the old strings .. i watch the minoes ..
i hear foot steps .. i turn around .. look .. and i see my best friend.. a yellow lab .. Dakota .
he slowly walks over .. licks my arm and walks down to the water ..
i pluck at my guitar .
the minoes circle his legs .. he snaps at them, causing me to smile .
he lays beside me and falls asleep ..
.. i strum a g chord .. pluck ..
smile ..
the sun begins to set .. red and orange spill accross the sky in slow motion .
fading to pink ..a couple stars poke out as the sky at last turns navy blue ..
i sit in silence .. Dakota asleep by my side ..
i watch the stars slowly come into site ..
... a shooting star soars accross the sky ..
i make a wish .. smile .. and then we head back to the house .
