Sickness

Sickness,
A great teacher,
Of time, appreciation,
Things undone.

I shall strive and rise,
For each passing moment.
I watch my hope grows,
Like sunrise at the sea.

I watch my hope fades,
Like sunset at the horizon,
A line differentiates
Realm of eternity.

I shall taste the great wine,
Warming down my throat,
Before I feel myself,
Cold from the icy death.

I shall spread love,
Everywhere,
Carving myself,
To their memories.

I shall gaze the stars,
Before they gaze at me
And I gaze
Onto the Earth.
