The rain
thunder that started as sweet, light flashes
that started with big pink clouds
that started with sticky humidity
Thankful for the clearing powers of the rain
It's ability to nourish, feed, and cool
To quench a thirst
Renew,
Refresh,
Recharge
Now, it is pounding
and pooling into streams
that touch something and spread
and pour until
it reaches the earth and is it absorbed
and then quietly distributed in no rush at all
in the warm, quiet earth underneath all of this

We have been in a drought and it finally rained recently. I went outside after a shower right after that first rain had stopped, feeling clean and refresh myself and it was like you could hear the trees and all things green breathe a sigh of relief and exhale extra sweet green smells.
