Nature's Plants vs. Power Plants

I'm glad it's raining and I hope it continues. This country needs water to bloom, and honestly, it's time for nature to take over again. Let this land become a wild, misty rainforest. I hope the old gnarled trees stretch their limbs up to the sky to catch the falling droplets. I hope their roots soak up every last bit of moisture, giving them new life. I hope they twist and bend and grow before our eyes, reaching heights greater than even Burj Khalifa and the Sears Tower. I wish flowering vines, wet with rain, would cover up this world, climb the walls of our buildings, consume the metal and the glass with blankets of glossy leaves, push up the manhole covers and overflow into the streets. I wish the rain would just keep pouring down, replenishing the lakes and the rivers. Filling them with clean, clear water. Let it fall for weeks before the clouds give in to the sun. We need a fresh new start. And I refuse to believe in what the Farmers Almanac is saying about more of snow. It can't be true!
