As the twig drifted downstream,514Please respect copyright.PENANAvvGwSWQ7Nj
The icy current bore it away,514Please respect copyright.PENANAoX9Y6GVAIc
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—514Please respect copyright.PENANA4HpKQAAcb3
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,514Please respect copyright.PENANAQKdefFpvOz
The weight of snow began to fade.514Please respect copyright.PENANAtcLPArufOH
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and514Please respect copyright.PENANAbD0Hlt4Vnn
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,514Please respect copyright.PENANACyEkyiagK8
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,514Please respect copyright.PENANA0KfWqkz7ja
So too did my spirit rise,514Please respect copyright.PENANADLtw5i5zgY
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,514Please respect copyright.PENANAyu0HLnUqK5
There lingers the promise of spring.514Please respect copyright.PENANAWgLK2bql8V
And as the twig was born anew,514Please respect copyright.PENANAmZnI1zbTP3
So, too, was my heart—514Please respect copyright.PENANAOoxGhqJNE4
Ready once more to embrace the world.
