underneath all of this

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

  1. 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.
