As the twig drifted downstream,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDmHDKZiFc
The icy current bore it away,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyKJwbfQo7
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKynucMr5S
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo9FmqGw07
The weight of snow began to fade.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb3m9HxP97
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C8malLvSN
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvvdq360Uq
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniRb289PSV
So too did my spirit rise,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx4jMyE70T
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCLbYO643D
There lingers the promise of spring.474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA8Stt0acN
And as the twig was born anew,474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXps4CfNm6
So, too, was my heart—474Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJV6DVbwMY
Ready once more to embrace the world.
