As the twig drifted downstream,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqsqVodKg8
The icy current bore it away,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjCnYmNudK
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrj9qxweJi8
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH6165hiQ6
The weight of snow began to fade.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdWqo3ZhtT
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4QZ5Yrqfn
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM6PA0e6JS
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCh0ZgURWe
So too did my spirit rise,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5eJV0YOjo
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgknTITpZd
There lingers the promise of spring.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3P56S8I4z
And as the twig was born anew,473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmTxuO23es
So, too, was my heart—473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBSuFqevk2
Ready once more to embrace the world.
