Cure-All Potion

Bookmark
Summary:
An herbalist is visited by 4 people looking for a remedy.

The man, the woman, the child and the teen, they all came to ask for help

One was looking for love

Another for health

The other desired wealth 

While the last was looking for a place to call home

 

They all come to see me at the same time

I only asked for a small favor in return

For it wasn’t a huge task for me to concoct the potions

They all agreed and lined up next to each other at my counter

Waiting expectantly, curiously, excitedly

 

So I pulled back the curtain displaying the shelf my potions sat upon.

One potion, the same exact bottles lined up next to each other for 4 people

I handed one to each of them and they all drank of their bottles at the same time

 

The thunder rumbled and the lightning crackled in warning of an impending storm.

So one by one they set out, before the storm arrived.

I watched them leave together, each parting ways at the end of the path.

The potion I knew would only help 2 of the 4. Maybe just one depending on their mindset.

 

The one looking for home would have to walk 2 more days

The one looking for love would have to wait 2 more years, if they closed the other doors they still had open.

The two looking for health and wealth could not be helped, for they already owned these luxuries If only they’d see.
