Relieved

The relief that comes from being told

That death may not yet be stalking you,

Is palpable and that’s the truth, of this I know

But it still caused my mind to blow,

And leaves you shaken as the time unknown

Can seem prolonged until the illness is shown,

To be lesser than what was at first told

I am just happier now that the truth is known.

  2. I don’t feel stalked by death, it sounds rather welcoming. However, the illness part I carefully try to avoid.
