The Last Recluse

Fountain Meditation

10-22-21

You're sitting in front of
the Courthouse Park fountain,
watching the water come
up and down
with every breath
you take in and out.
Imagine a tiny droplet,
and maybe it's the size
of a tear you've cried.
As that feeling rises,
your lungs expand and
your chest fills, ready
to see that teardrop fall
back into the pool.
You exhale, slowly,
as your tear washes
and blends into its
true surroundings.
You're one with the water
now, and no longer alone.
You're at peace.
You're at home.
