As a tear
Rain-washed sky
Clouds scudding by
Radiant sunshine
Splashes its way

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people! I am back after a break. Thanks for still being here, if you are! Missed you! xxx

I think they made tears in an attempt to wash away grief. Most times they don’t work very well.

Wash away sadness and let the sunshine in… true, though sometimes it can take many, many tears, Carl.

Lovely. For me nothing quite equals the joy of watching a new day break, especially when clouds scud away to make way for the sun to rise in all its majesty.

Thank you so much, John. I love it when the sun comes out and shines on all the raindrops still hanging on the trees, flowers and grass stems.
