As the twig drifted downstream,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBs4T7GKFh
The icy current bore it away,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5tKOvTMzp
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaSvd5wYUh
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR9VEWFBKU
The weight of snow began to fade.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2i4nAhPDA
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADI6Za7MHJ
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcucMFcppEd
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdDnuiwe0
So too did my spirit rise,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9PrmlsjVX
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFmlV0NaDz
There lingers the promise of spring.578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6MneeUheF
And as the twig was born anew,578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSO1gkZnv0
So, too, was my heart—578Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDueBfbyQ5o
Ready once more to embrace the world.
