Finding a Fountain

A man went to the mountain He heard there was a stone fountain On a steep flat top He came to a stop A rock got loose He had to choose A way to avoid the stone So he stood still like a crone It fell to the ground To join a great mound To find the stone fountain He continued up the mountain

I am glad to see this poem, & "meet" the Lady Poet Darlene. Though you have been through much, I appreciate the packaging of the poem is so positive; it reveals you (like Doug Vinson) may naturally offer/contemplate forgiveness. Thanks; Blessings/Shalom. (May I add: A woman slowly hiked up & conquered a mountain; and she discovered many a fountain; including a fountain of youth; youth is renewed by telling the truth) Anil Deo

Oh I love the rhyming scheme. He just had to complete his search by climbing further, so determined. I just wished the poem continued.
