Well of Wisdom

Once upon a timeIn the middle of a forestRound and stout with a roof overheadStood a well of wisdom.
Together, the animals guarded itKnowing about the speciesLurking around their haven Waiting to steal the gift of Nature.
On nights when the moon was fullRose a tipsy faerieSwaying and tumbling in the breezeFrom deep inside the well.
One by one the animals clappedMesmerized by her danceForgetting the fights of the day As magic dust shimmered around.
Two drops of the elixirEach got to taste Heads bowed and arms foldedThey knew a blessing wasn't to be abused.
It was the water from the wellThat made them sensitive Unlike humans Deprived of humanity.
Animals, they were With a heart and soulCaring for their priceless giftHiding the well of wisdom from humans.
