As the twig drifted downstream,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H8ImIelzp
The icy current bore it away,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0gHIk84CC
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk5kXY2aXZ
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSdcKKD2yt
The weight of snow began to fade.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BHpp5GLWX
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzImIzB5UD
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSbix3Zj8l
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQqIyBgX30
So too did my spirit rise,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX8V5RgtM2
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRtqbXTnSZ
There lingers the promise of spring.586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSpT9n4INd
And as the twig was born anew,586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ836vttpV5n
So, too, was my heart—586Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh8Iv7GTqG
Ready once more to embrace the world.
