As the twig drifted downstream,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKtLbFzPEh
The icy current bore it away,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV5M01JY3I
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8BI263YIg
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS029IYUW51
The weight of snow began to fade.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynuUFZUOaa
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4zjblKxAs
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjIF7QlMiH
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnK4XfY1PE
So too did my spirit rise,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU0IdKVUFI
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIklFfvR4EX
There lingers the promise of spring.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY97xaEppOk
And as the twig was born anew,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwmOO0ssfb
So, too, was my heart—609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdYJs7htwZ
Ready once more to embrace the world.
