As the twig drifted downstream,938Please respect copyright.PENANAKZPjzAtvl6
The icy current bore it away,938Please respect copyright.PENANALwd9tsnVwt
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—938Please respect copyright.PENANAbfsqwj0IE9
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,938Please respect copyright.PENANAgBZNpf264Z
The weight of snow began to fade.938Please respect copyright.PENANAJWGET4M9ZG
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and938Please respect copyright.PENANAy7QAy7MRQ1
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,938Please respect copyright.PENANAgTvBeXa4WV
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,938Please respect copyright.PENANAyUfTShJqvV
So too did my spirit rise,938Please respect copyright.PENANAvLrRMO2hFm
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,938Please respect copyright.PENANAntGdzsFKqC
There lingers the promise of spring.938Please respect copyright.PENANA6hOtQJDZZF
And as the twig was born anew,938Please respect copyright.PENANAFWxKXOixqb
So, too, was my heart—938Please respect copyright.PENANAVOyNTYegYV
Ready once more to embrace the world.
