Wisely Wise

On the mountain lived a wise person

Nobody called them a witch

Or threatened them with fire at the stake

They knew about plants and herbs

About what to eat and what not

And they could heal with plants

Making food with fruit and vegetables

Including meat and fish when needed

Drinking fresh spring water

Living in a cave near the summit

Close to the ancestors souls and graves

Such a timeless place full of life

And answers to all the questions

That one could ask

Go there now...
