As the twig drifted downstream,903Please respect copyright.PENANApEiCzBBpQv
The icy current bore it away,903Please respect copyright.PENANAydQmBnoWct
Half-hidden beneath winter’s hush—903Please respect copyright.PENANAufDsqS6wdk
A symbol of my frozen heart.
Yet as the days grew long and bright,903Please respect copyright.PENANAs08y2LyqCa
The weight of snow began to fade.903Please respect copyright.PENANAhTAPMm7FRG
Layer by layer, the frost withdrew, and903Please respect copyright.PENANAii3YM9N3rL
My soul stirred from its slumber.
When at last the twig emerged,903Please respect copyright.PENANA1DJyv5EbXG
Stripped bare, unshackled, free,903Please respect copyright.PENANAIToErD79vy
So too did my spirit rise,903Please respect copyright.PENANAJsZBFSpHCg
Untangled from the grief I bore.
For even in the depths of winter,903Please respect copyright.PENANAQi4teKocck
There lingers the promise of spring.903Please respect copyright.PENANAAeWiwguIh0
And as the twig was born anew,903Please respect copyright.PENANAn60ahuF26u
So, too, was my heart—903Please respect copyright.PENANAWJYFofu9ZC
Ready once more to embrace the world.
