SUMMER RAIN.....
Desperately in need of relief, it's always worse at night.
In that silent, dank, Moon hidden blackness
It's presence is overwhelming.
That heavy, moist, throbbing presence!
Waiting for the inevitible...
Becoming increasingly restless...
You start to feel the distant rumblings.
Closer.....Closer.....
C'mon. EXPLODE!!
Release the flood-gates...Drench ME..Soak Me!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.........
