Tears On the Wind

Wheel of fears and cheers etched tears in my years
swirling me to rumination that queers.
Lessons, I learned streak golden souvenirs
enlightening me in every frontiers.

Imprudent dusts blurred and hardened my heart,
tears on the wind rescued fiercely aghast
allowing me to behold rainbow skirt...
Firing my bravery ever not hush!

Onions in my eyes upraise bitterness,
drained my strength awhile, but without delay
same tears uphold me to deliverance
encompassing to each dawn - twilight lay.

Tears on the wind, my soulful song prayer.
Amazing grace revealed through all dried tears.
Tears - a heaven rain for my whole new birth
bathing my heart and soul wholly with mirth.
