As the twig drifted downstream,523Please respect copyright.PENANAwhh9p8nzXy
The icy current bore it away,523Please respect copyright.PENANADYByzsUIMQ
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—523Please respect copyright.PENANAtrX8kq6GOv
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,523Please respect copyright.PENANAqzme0QszS8
The weight of snow began to fade.523Please respect copyright.PENANAw00hOspTKp
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and523Please respect copyright.PENANAHA9UpSxmx0
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,523Please respect copyright.PENANAzdJlugjiOk
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,523Please respect copyright.PENANAW3spoMufn1
So too did my spirit rise,523Please respect copyright.PENANArfrjRm6oOi
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,523Please respect copyright.PENANAvCPmnjbUEC
There lingers the promise of spring.523Please respect copyright.PENANAMaW1OARc19
And as the twig was born anew,523Please respect copyright.PENANA86R0WSPhyc
So, too, was my heart—523Please respect copyright.PENANAkMuURJoshQ
Ready once more to embrace the world.
