The Pool of Emotions

Here I stand,
with my arms crossed over me,
I stare through the pool of tears -
at the reflection of my life.

I gather myself up
as I take a final breath.
I fall into the pool 
of my own emotions.

I'm drenched in tears 
that I have shed through the years,
I bring my head up to the surface, 
to the start of a new beginning.

With the rays of the summer sun 
shining it's positive light onto me,
and the birds flying above, singing
I always know everything will be ok.
Nobody stays in a swimming pool forever.
