As the twig drifted downstream,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAUQCeND8B
The icy current bore it away,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ209aCmys7
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSJFqYYaLx
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpmpmJqtwz
The weight of snow began to fade.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhc5YQ3GXc
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6m7ToTk0L
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCbJ8dKCjc
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSqv0MdjvC
So too did my spirit rise,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYt2i2Zvu
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwsCTgqE4
There lingers the promise of spring.515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9v2OiDqzN
And as the twig was born anew,515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XzGlcxQEl
So, too, was my heart—515Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIFXSRh6PB
Ready once more to embrace the world.
