As the twig drifted downstream,496Please respect copyright.PENANA5CzlvcunR1
The icy current bore it away,496Please respect copyright.PENANAlDHNPA8eDd
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—496Please respect copyright.PENANA5Tp8e5yDGZ
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,496Please respect copyright.PENANAMgwk1UNMrG
The weight of snow began to fade.496Please respect copyright.PENANAASbOGbD0U8
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and496Please respect copyright.PENANAJF7gSz63SY
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,496Please respect copyright.PENANA9tN9TvSQVS
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,496Please respect copyright.PENANA4pAv9jpEuK
So too did my spirit rise,496Please respect copyright.PENANACZVJnaedGQ
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,496Please respect copyright.PENANAmI5edeJSRQ
There lingers the promise of spring.496Please respect copyright.PENANAm3DRMRV7HR
And as the twig was born anew,496Please respect copyright.PENANAGDVastH28n
So, too, was my heart—496Please respect copyright.PENANA9jD4reQLyJ
Ready once more to embrace the world.
