The Fountain of Eternal Youth

Shimmering waters,
Whispering promises of life
Eternal, ageless.

Legends beckon forth,
Luring the weary and old,
Seeking timeless youth.

Mythical spring flows,
Bubbling with rejuvenation,
Mystical allure.

Parched lips eagerly
Taste the crystalline elixir,
Shedding years away.

Vigor returns, strength
Surges through tired, frail limbs,
Reborn in its grace.

Wrinkles fade, skin glows,
Eyes sparkle with youthful light,
Transformation complete.

Immortality
Within reach, or so it seems,
Fulfilling long dreams.

Yet the price is high,
Trapped in an endless cycle,
Forsaking true life.

Careful what you seek,
For the fountain's seductive call
May hold a dark price.
