Summer Rain

southern hot, sultry july
even the air is heavy
dust hasn't settled in weeks
greenery is a crisp gold

today i can smell it
thunder rolls at a distance
trees reach and cup their branches
to drink of the sweetness from the sky
birds bathe in puddles
even i can not resist the temptation
to splash and twirl
with the cool drops on my tongue
until i am drenched
with child's play
