izaluckycat:

desert cats

dance whenever it rains

my own eyes captured this view

of owls flight in celebration

and horned toads

on holiday

even the creosote is happy

and she releases her perfume

splendid gift

only her sappy leaves can bring

the pounding deluge

fills in dry cracks

rivers race

quenching thirsty washes

as the sky lights

in natural fireworks

and the crack

and the roll

of the most lively drummer.
