As the twig drifted downstream,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE05rSKGmt4
The icy current bore it away,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2upxE6ZQr
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRqdl6GNFN
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0jEiM0ZJM
The weight of snow began to fade.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFUDSt4NnL
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFcAD0HA28
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScYwbbY7DF
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XGmqP4qul
So too did my spirit rise,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDODadJ5AO
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK1835RgKP
There lingers the promise of spring.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PBJOUdOmO
And as the twig was born anew,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVtCbJVcef
So, too, was my heart—609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNdRxybxCE
Ready once more to embrace the world.
