As the twig drifted downstream,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5ffMqUWSe
The icy current bore it away,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhyMOqzwQn
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscXDdBqsWa
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOiaDRFmoS
The weight of snow began to fade.501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu6X0fNwFf
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZppEtjjBx
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnpUU6hUAR
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT6vtIeo3Y
So too did my spirit rise,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8xjVRt732
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLQDeom4m8
There lingers the promise of spring.501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv3ALnCLM6
And as the twig was born anew,501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLrJWzcStW
So, too, was my heart—501Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABPCj6jZy1
Ready once more to embrace the world.
