Fire Tree

Green leaves burn,
Their colour now red,
The flames burn inwards,
Starting at the tips,
Flames eat the braches,
Leaving them black,
And sparks litter the ground,
To be trampled into dust,
The last leaf falls,
Exposed to the world,
Its bones stripped bare,
The tree now waits for summer sun,
But it will burn again.
