Release all negative feelings and take in the serenity.
Look ever so carefully at your surroundings, this may be the last time you return.
The water falls off the architecture, you begin to feel something different.
The noises around you simmer, speech is irrelevant.
Look up.
Believe in the breeze and free your mind.
Crowds of people circle around wanting to capture this moment.
When the moment of bliss arises, you turn your back, facing the tongues of different cultures.
This brings a smile to your face, you clench your fist a little tighter, knowing momentarily it will be gone forever.
You raise your hand, over above your head.
Close your eyes, think of nothing else.
You begin to countdown in your head 3,2,1
Release the tension in your hand, let go of your fears.
The universe is now in control.
You hear the little drop into the fountain.
It's time to turn back around and face the mystery.
The water is still.
Like anyone else, your dream has fallen into the pond of mist.
All that's left is hope.
The hope for you to return one day.
The hope to change your life.
The hope that whatever you paused for, will bring you peace.
It's time to leave now, you take everything in for the last time and finally, you release that breath, turn away and never look back.
