" After the Fever, the Long Quiet " By Jacky Kapadia After the fever, the long quiet comes, A hush that settles in bone and breath; The body, once a battleground of drums, Now learns the softer grammar after death— Not death of life, but of the burning flare, The restless pulse that would not be denied; In stillness now, a fragile kind of care Unfolds where all the former storms have died. The air feels wider, time begins to slow, Each second placed with deliberate grace; A tender strength begins at last to grow, Replacing haste with calm, replacing chase. And in that quiet, something deep takes root— A wiser rhythm, patient and aware; For what survives the fire is often mute, Yet speaks in peace no fever could declare. ==================END=================== #AfterTheFever, #LongQuiet, #HealingJourney, #RecoveryMode, #MindfulLiving, #InnerPeace, #WellnessRecovery, #EmotionalHealing, #CalmAfterStorm, #MentalWellbeing, #SelfCareMatters, #PeacefulMind, #HealingEnergy, #LifeAfterIllness, #RestAndRecover, #QuietMoments, #HolisticHealth, #WellnessLifestyle, #BalanceInLife, #SerenityNow, #MindBodySoul, #StressRelief, #PositiveHealing, #InnerStrength, #TranquilLife
