Contemplation

I wonder if sickness is, also, a Way.
Not pathless, for it is lined with medicine.
Chests congested with pain and no sleep
Remember better days - say, yesterday -
And if there is a wishing to be had
(Besides: "Be well", a dangerous one)
It is to not take health for granted.
If we spend our time sick wanting to be well,
How do we spend it when we are well?
