Awoken I Am

Through the hazy skies Of this hot summer morning, I can see your smile Even if only imagined, It spreads rays of hope Between rolling storms And clapping thunder Your kindness is always clear Bringing a return of calmness To feel with every raindrop Awoken, I am 7/10/20 Placed 1st in the Strand Completely New (8) any theme, any Form poetry contest.
