As the twig drifted downstream,641Please respect copyright.PENANAVbxwNCemlo
The icy current bore it away,641Please respect copyright.PENANA0YoMXz86Eq
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—641Please respect copyright.PENANAdeO0bb4V1q
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,641Please respect copyright.PENANA6vDLE3mQhl
The weight of snow began to fade.641Please respect copyright.PENANAFE66TM8z5D
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and641Please respect copyright.PENANA9snk1fuIia
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,641Please respect copyright.PENANATsE0B7rdwi
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,641Please respect copyright.PENANACMIigMEVxD
So too did my spirit rise,641Please respect copyright.PENANArgCdZxHpQf
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,641Please respect copyright.PENANALy4dyChqAW
There lingers the promise of spring.641Please respect copyright.PENANAK5cneg8T1R
And as the twig was born anew,641Please respect copyright.PENANAwU1BI2Qpix
So, too, was my heart—641Please respect copyright.PENANAkKZLjhxta4
Ready once more to embrace the world.
