Like an abrupt arrival the storm unleashes
where the mighty mississippi is borned in
the distance
10,000 Lakes reflecting the rays of eons
past
while the course of the rising sun
climbs to the heavens above lake Superior
10,000 Lakes, cool and electric Minnesotan
magic
lessons on customs experimentally tragic
drying time and pressing on the trail opens
the door to earlier days and talents
ways of the lumberjack
and ways of the missionary miner
10,000 Lakes summoning fair the edifying
discourse
summoning brighter days to endorse
10,000 Lakes
