Pretty water spring ♡
Enchanted Spring
Peace and hope fills the air
So long as the water is undisturbed.
Serenity permeates as you stand
But be careful how your footsteps land.
This spring is a blessing for generations
But water never comes for those wanting rations,
The water flows to feed a stream
Anyone else may merely dream,
For if you take straight from the source
Your days shall be plagued with remorse.
Further along are villages and towns,
Odd strangers living among fields and more,
Those are who the water is for.
Their buckets filled with peace and hope,
Yet Taken too soon sours the fair,
Twists the hope into a stranglehold,
No matter the hazards you stay forever bold,
No matter the urgency you take your time,
And death shall soon follow upon a dime.
So rest and relax beside the spring
But be careful the marks and avoid its water
For that serenity lives within its ring.
