Fountain
Bubbling away in the old lady’s overgrown backyard not many knew of its existence.
They kept the secret to the source of eternal life.
The protectors were beneficiaries of its long-lasting qualities.
Living forever they decided wasn’t all it was cut out to be.
They clung together, the only real friends they had.

Thanks so much.
The last line adds depth. Excellent take!
Thanks so much Reena.
Eternity is a long time to be ‘cloistered’. Enjoyed.
That’s right, its a heck of a long time.
Enjoyed reading this, Michael 🙂
Thanks Sammi
