I look out the window and search the blue sky
It’s muggy and hot on this sweltering day in July
The suns hot glare dehydrates plant life leaving it parched and dry
There has been no sign of rain for weeks leaving our grass faded and ready die
The hot summer breeze blows sluggishly with a sigh
The sunshine is smoldering burning through the clouds which float lazily by
But with no sign of reprieve for the land, parched and dry
I would surely do a Rain Dance if it would only open the sky
But alas I see no hope today and I give slow sigh
I live in the desert and this made me thirsty! I know it's nasty back East, we have 105 degrees too (normal) but at least without the humidity! Glad I don't live in Maryland anymore. Well written.
