WHEN WE ARE SICK AND DYING
It is the dawn of awareness
When you are sick and dying
Our life; ephemeral,loses its glamour
Our sweat and pain, irrelevant
The blindfold falls off
Our eyes of fantasy go blind
The breeze of fate
Blows open the windows of reality
The toil of yesteryears
The strength of our limbs
The folly we call youth
Passes before our eyes
In painfully slow motion
We lose the clay and breath
We wonder why we never saw
Never thought, never imagined...
We become sages
When we are sick and dying

We became sages, is that 'wise' as in French language or the aromatic plant whose greyish-green leaves are used as a culinary herb, sage?

Wise. That is, it is when we are about to die( or think we are about to) that we suddenly become wise.
Thank you so much Billy
