Southwest Rain
Torrents of water
Gush down the street
Summer’s first rain
Excitement replete
Every droplet
Cleansing each leaf
Each heart, each thought
Bringing relief
Glistening grasses
Fresh, clean air
Stirring our senses
Styling our hair
Thunder exploding
Lightening afire
Coaxing our beings
Never to tire
Southwest rain
Threatening skies
Brighten our spirits
Open our eyes
