These sharp, cold breaths are subsiding at last
The pain of frosty inhalation is finally finished
I can finally breathe in and my heart doesn't stop

Winter is slowly fading into spring

The air in my lungs has shed its despotic weight
It no longer grips me
Nostalgia and doubt no longer float in its wafting wake

The frigid qualms of this winter hell have finally melted away
Warm sunshine on my skin awaits me
I welcome the finger tips of sunlight reaching out to me
