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.
