Tears On the Wind

Tears on the wind
Crying in rain
Memories hurt
Sadness again

Smiling in sun
Laughter reborn
Healing from hurt
No time to mourn

Old love expired
New love required

For Gail’s Tears on the Wind contest

Very good, Jack. The last two lines say it all. Thanks for your visit to my work.

Crying in rain is too much pain. But soon will wash away the stain. And pure as driven snow we'll know. That love will come, just watch it grow.

This is one for the Winner's List, Jack!!... Love the directness and the brevity is perfect. I predict a win and also that those tears will be dried one of these days and I will remind you with, "I told you so"! : ) xxx Annaliise

Dear Jack, Rain often makes me feel melancholy too. After a long period of rain, the sun does bring great joy. Love the last two lines!! Wow. Best wishes in Gail's contest. Love, Carolyn
