Sophie DelDonno Just EnoughSighing downwards to the ground in an indefinite moment of time, the last dry and colorless leaf leaves the empty tree. It circles, arcs, and twirls reluctantly to earth taking its time on its last exhilarating flight, now to rest among thousands of others, individuality vanishing with the multitudes. From where she sits looking out the window she cannot tell one from another, but she knows that just a month ago every last one was beautiful. Who will appreciate these delicate offerings from each branch of each last tree? They used to be something more – no longer, but that was enough. [BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS, CLASS OF 2007 EDITION] |
