the simple things of life

I know this isn't very spiritual but I to share my excitement with someone! What is all the excitement? It has been around 80 to 90 this week and humidity suffocates the atmosphere; and then as evening creeps on, bellowing thunder rolls in beckoning the rain to come. The thunder bellows on as the rain trickles down drop by drop. Each drop hits the hot pavement in a stream of steam, an aroma rises from the sizzling streets no words could describe. The very smell of it makes one want to run outside and dance in the downpour and be swept away with the overwhelming of the senses. And just as the dark gray storm clouds have smothered all, light flashes of neon light, filling the sky. As evening peeks, the lightning strikes begin dancing across the backdrop of sea gray and blue. They flash on the sky so fast, its as though a ribbon dance is being performed in the heavenly. Neon streaks of blue, purple and even pink flow across the blackened sky making the streaks that much more intense as though the dance has reached the climax. Just when you think the whole sky will ignite with one final explosion of light, it calms, the wind comes in and sweeps it away as backstage crew would sweep up the confetti of the stage. The show has come to a close and the curtains have been drawn, leaving its audience speechless in awe.
