god loves his children

it rained tonight. a heavy rain, the fury of the skies above unleashed in liquid form over the earth. the air was thick, somewhat warm, drawing the sweet scent of the earth. i've always liked the scent of the dry earth after the first rain. it is full of life, of a primordial power that we have once known. once. a long time ago. it rained for a while, a long while lost in time. 

i was longing for it.
