As the twig drifted downstream,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdc8f95J7X
The icy current bore it away,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88gaQsxElS
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAWEiHqSIJ
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSfkQQo1AZ
The weight of snow began to fade.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dJ8AUgqni
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH4XEcOxDa
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEMVSZ0ZN8
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDF0Lpl49w
So too did my spirit rise,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHijhQWTbg
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia9kk6bvd4
There lingers the promise of spring.611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjguJ8YsZc
And as the twig was born anew,611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3yXDFYBaw
So, too, was my heart—611Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtFgsfqoqT
Ready once more to embrace the world.
