The Answer To the Question

I went to the deepest part of the forest to seek the wisdom of the owl Asked if he knew just where to find it and if it was allowed He said that he had no idea where it was or what it means So he sent me further on my way down along the sea I went to the edge of the ocean and asked a dolphin passing by If he could tell me where it was and if he knew the reason why He told me he's swam the seven seas enduring all of life's inclement weather The only advice he gave to me go my friend and check the desert So I ventured to the desert what I found was a dry and dusty land I searched for days in the suns beating rays for someone to answer this one question With a bit of luck I found a shady spot underneath a Mastic tree Where it was I sat down from my journey long enough to find the answer to my question is "me"
