Spouts a Very Small and Magical Fountain

Spouts A Very Small And Magical Fountain


There is a mystical land in this world
 where compassion is increased in scope
There rests a shining banner unfurled
 holding heart's greatest gift in Hope!

High upon a snow-laden majestic mountain
 in a hidden cave very deep within 
Spouts a very small and magical fountain
 that serves to shrink living men!

A mere taste of its free flowing gift
 casts forth a great magical spell
Father time is then eternally set adrift
 rose fragrance comes forth the smell!

A new man found suddenly small his size
 cutting his arrogant follies down
Instantly his heart grew so very wise
 and no longer lived he as a clown!

His short stature forced him to look up
 thus Heavenly look was his new view
Love of All filled his heart's new cup
 he saw things bright and brand new!

High upon a snow-laden majestic mountain
 in a hidden cave very deep within 
Spouts a very small and magical fountain
 that serves to shrink living men!

NOTE: This was a unfinished poem written back in 1983,
 I just finished it today after finding it late 
last night tucked in an old letter in a box of books.
