This Wise Owl Says

This owl gives the best advice,
As if he lived a thousand lifetimes.
His wisdom spoke in these words:
“Always move forward from the ones in your herd”

Let curiosity be your fuel
Question the life we abhor
Because everyone must know
What we know best 
Is what we didn’t learn at school

He says, push your limits
Discover 
               The                                                        nooks
                        Mysteries          undiscovered
                                           Of 
He says, living in one of the oaks,
You don’t notice your chains
If you don’t move
The more he saw the less he spoke,
All this wisdom he seeked to bequeath.
The less he spoke the more he heard,
The weary woodman wrecking home beneath.
