Tears On the Wind

Up from the depths the well runs dry.
Releasing tears on the wind you cry.
When all is more than you can bear.
Tears on the wind are always there.

Fallen Angels and Saint's held high.
Know all too well the reason why.
A body needs some comfort and care.
Tears on the wind are always there.

A natural lesson of life and love.
A gentle rain that's from above.
To wash the pain from deep inside.
And give new life to what has died.

Tears on the wind blow freely now.
To answer all the questions how.
A living soul can find the joy.
They knew as a young girl or boy.

For Gail Doyle's Tears on the wind contest.

That is a good one for the contest,. Robert. From the way you did the first two stanzas, I had thought you were on your way to creating a kyrielle!! I had tried to do one on this topic and gave up in despair!!
