Liquid perfection

There is nothing like the first rain. It is liquid perfection. It has only been a couple of weeks since the last rain, but since then, things have become dry and wilted. The rain began about an hour ago, and the smell is intoxicating.
The fresh scent lasts for such a brief time, just minutes really...and I feel that we should embrace the first rain, because it is just a matter of time before we shall be willing it to stop...
