It has rained everyday this summer.
Sunny and warm till afternoon, then a
storm builds, it rains and there’s lightning and thunder,
like the world is coming to an end.
An hour later sunshine and rainbows.
Everyday. It’s magic.
We are in our monsoon cycle here in the Springs.
We get powerful storms for about an hour everyday. It makes our
evening fresh and cool, everything gets a daily washing.
No air conditioners here.
We are fortunate that our cooling system is free.
I often have to pinch myself to believe I
live in such a beautiful place. Never too hot
and never to cold. And our sky is filled with magic……
you would have to see it to believe it.
Right now I am looking at a double rainbow against
a huge thunder head, black at the bottom and absolute
white at the top and a deep brilliant blue sky. It’s moving west
to Kansas, we are the last mountains before the flat land, where
our small storms become massive storms.
i wrap my arms around this cloud
it’s power runs through me
this storm drags my ass
though our heart land
twisting and climaxing
with thunderous claps
and shocks of lighting
racing through my veins
i explode
my hands thrown back
i collapse
and i laugh
and i’m somewhere in kansas
