The Pool
Valentina Baretta
It is an escape
From the ever-changing world
The pool stays the same
Never ending trance
Water is always flowing
See it and feel calm
A romantic sight
The pool keeps me entertained
I want to dive in
Once I’d choose to go
Serenity envelopes
No longer stressed out
No reason to leave
When what I need is right here
Keeping the warmth near
Sunlight penetrates
Thousands of rays are dancing
Must gaze upon them
I simply feel peace
This day could not be better
Only want to stay
When the sun will sleep
Will I go and leave the pool
And wake from this dream
Valentina Baretta is 17 years old and attends Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School.
