COOKIE CUTTER LEAVES dark green cookie cutter leaves - so many they shouldn’t matter? do we love one more than the other? if each one gained an inferiority complex cut their wrists from the old oak tree and flew away to who knows why leaving us with broken branches would rain run mascara from our eyes produce raging rivers? would Spring become a painful season?

This made my eyes water, and I feel this pain deep within. So well written Kim.

Thank you, Darren! Some walk too close to the edge and fall in. Some are saved in the brink of time. I feel for the ones they leave behind.

So deep and sad the picture and feelings you create in this Kim. Nicely done, but deeply sad.

If each leaf would know how absolutely wonderful they are! Thanks, Chris.
