Stormy Summer Day Torrential downpours drown this summer day... huge puddles forming, filled with tears of rain. No sun or sky of blue...my heart gives way to sadness while my mood reflects the pain of how a gray and rainy day can bring a sorrow from my heart to hurt anew. Contagious is the dreariness that clings when stormy days bring darkness into view with solemn thoughts of sunshine gone...and, missing you. Sandra M.

They way you use the well-worn comparison of rain to tears feels sadly comfortable, like we've been here before. Nice and congratulations!
