We wait 6 months or more here
in this desert we call Los Angeles
The rain finally arrives
after threats from the Meteorologists
of severe weather and mudslides
Walking on the beach yesterday
it looked like the winds might blow the storm north,
missing the L A basin
But last night the rain hit
strong and steady
washing the roads clean of months of oil and rubber
I love the rain
it lets me know that Nature has not forgotten us
the grass and the flowers smile
the air cool and clean
A walk with an umbrella
is a reason to celebrate
