As the twig drifted downstream,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GQyDyw8PT
The icy current bore it away,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3JCVyLaZF
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoXbidyEqR
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUX425NhvSW
The weight of snow began to fade.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0VYdjcMig
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BRFp1mF45
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZoou89q7u
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79KvmHjROF
So too did my spirit rise,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM0FCIWHO2
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiAY2dA63D
There lingers the promise of spring.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhqEyLSJJm
And as the twig was born anew,607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrgcqgqHJc
So, too, was my heart—607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kzQHAvarQ
Ready once more to embrace the world.
