The rains



And at last the heavens open and the first big fat weltering drops of rain fall.
The earth rejoices and my heart is glad.
It quenches the dry earth and brings relief from the staggering heat.
The rich muddy, earthy smell emanates and fills the air and I breath in deep.
Oh rain much needed and longed for,
will you stay a while and fill our land?
Replenish our ground water and make rivers run once more?
Or is this just a fleeting storm and we return to drought?
