Rains Cascade From The Mountaintop

in

Rains cascade from the mountaintop

So fluid in its dance of desperation

Tumbling over granite shards

Impregnating the seed of the dormant bride

Soon she will welcome her offspring

Colorful and joyous

Springing from crack and crevice

To play amongst the warmth of the winds

Her groom–

Disappearing ever downward

Seeks slumber in the bed below

Having succumbed to destiny

Coyote and cacti feed from his humble remains

Quenching their arid thirst

Until at once

…He is no more

      Thank you, I don’t get to write about rain too often here in Arizona, but this one was huge and well worth mentioning. :)

      Yes it was and some never before seen flooding. I had about 5 inches of rain yesterday in about 3 hours, it really was amazing.

        We had flooding in places that we have never seen it before. Interstate 10 which runs from the east coast to the west coast was submerged under car roof high water, it was absolutely amazing. Almost every major freeway had parts of them shutdown because they were impassable.
