Autumn tears

The sound of a lonely ballad
Music from a broken record
Melody from a shaky voice
Harmony from wrinkled lungs

The falling of the rain
Hitting our skin , reminding us of pain
The blooming of trees
Are signs of a better me

Leaves drop from their branch
Tears roll from my cheek
And the beauty of all this
they both hit the ground in a synchronising harmony.
