Raindrops Mixed With Tears

Raindrops paint a muted reflection on my front window pane.
Wails come from a thunderous sky; I wipe away my tears again.

The summer sun melts my mask and a still breaking heart.
Raindrops fall cleansing the earth, I resign to make a fresh start.

Violent storms defined my summer, autumn rain renews my soul.
Drops create a clear reflection, a smile and precious life extolled.

Congratulations on your win in my "Raindrops Falling" contest Rhonda. I had a very hard time judging this contest as most of the poems were so well written. Thank you for supporting my contest. Love, Carol
