As the twig drifted downstream,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5ntp76s2I
The icy current bore it away,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjtBhccCHe
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzUVpvzeBF
A symbol of my frozen heart.

The weight of snow began to fade.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNqq75eVwX
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF01lnGIYY
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOcboBfiT2
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO89bUHo4uJ
So too did my spirit rise,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBGmyEk1tz
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd1Q4cktF5
There lingers the promise of spring.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvGvTloMyO

So, too, was my heart—475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT5HJ5M3hq
Ready once more to embrace the world.
