As the twig drifted downstream,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrlg9MUKUM
The icy current bore it away,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidYviL5c9s
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVyNHanpYC
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVjd23Owh5
The weight of snow began to fade.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPTlaG1Fsq
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7yYt3Mf66
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IOj0MzFSn
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrc56DlETe
So too did my spirit rise,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiEh2j3Dfy
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDCSXXMJPI
There lingers the promise of spring.609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckEC8mQkwg
And as the twig was born anew,609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhn49NFDve
So, too, was my heart—609Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBgPRcYGEA
Ready once more to embrace the world.
