arizona rain

thinking logically
arizona's rain
is most likely the warmest rain
ever
BUT
whether because it is so rare
or because the outside temperature is still hot
each drop still sends a shock through your body like
you forgot what coldness feels like
or forgot what moisture falling from the sky is like
there's nothing more beautiful than
raindrops hitting pools of water
each splash is like a laugh
puddles let the rain in like the most welcome of strangers
like
the all to familiar memory of childhood puddle-hopping
each water droplet was once together
a family in the clouds
and after this crazy journey of precipitation
they see eachother again
old friends
their chance to come down to earth
so rare in the hot air that exists year round
or so it seems

arizona rain
is unique from any other rain
often heralded in by light shows and thundering drums
treated like royalty here
because
of course, it is a desert
rain brings life
brings cleansing
not just physical kind but
if you can let it
cleansing of the soul
the mind
any injuries to your heart
miraculously can be made less
by the rare treasure in this desert state
rain..
