The stings have softened
The bite has eased
The venom has faded
Sirens of pain
Have quieted
I float unbridled
Easily standing on my feet
I rise a little higher
Than my purview
My legs no longer buckle
Peace is a godsend
Like a blown kiss in the wind
Blessings lift our burdens
The weightlessness of release
Is a gift
Breathing comes easy
With unobstructed airways
Distress dissolves
To free the flow
Of life
