As the twig drifted downstream,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQKtlLnKT3
The icy current bore it away,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6zPnc6toE
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66TL3jRRDe
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0vvzMlWpR
The weight of snow began to fade.493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qChHlERr1
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YANb6iei3
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCDJ5TIiAa
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYzjE9AZuF
So too did my spirit rise,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8Q3D4ZYHD
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4NdMMmxsN
There lingers the promise of spring.493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ867DZQVmFb
And as the twig was born anew,493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7nOj2MMYr
So, too, was my heart—493Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUhIDI42MQ
Ready once more to embrace the world.
