As the twig drifted downstream,462Please respect copyright.PENANA8HDGyrOIHK
The icy current bore it away,462Please respect copyright.PENANAUhTYXn3Iv4
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—462Please respect copyright.PENANA1xOIbIAILD
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,462Please respect copyright.PENANAacmL26mHM5
The weight of snow began to fade.462Please respect copyright.PENANATRUmwGYdLL
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and462Please respect copyright.PENANA0EBeGt8DGD
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,462Please respect copyright.PENANAVQcD0QWm14
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,462Please respect copyright.PENANAU4S6Wi4zg6
So too did my spirit rise,462Please respect copyright.PENANAm6VZkFsExa
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,462Please respect copyright.PENANARoEUAQkfMN
There lingers the promise of spring.462Please respect copyright.PENANA8JfYeuL5UO
And as the twig was born anew,462Please respect copyright.PENANAunBnNx58m9
So, too, was my heart—462Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ta9J7bu7K
Ready once more to embrace the world.
