I love how autumn sets ablaze
The corners of the park
The tree that leaps with burning haze
The leaves that spit and spark
I stood beneath a tree on fire
And watched its embers fly
The flames that flickered ever higher
Leaping to the sky
A shock of red against the blue
As gold the sunlight came
The fire danced and crackled through
The autumn leaves a-flame
And there was I on crunchy bed
Beside the burning tree
Its golden crown and noble head
Engulfed in colours free
And underfoot the fallen leaves
Those ashes of the sun
Where autumn now the summer grieves
As sure as winter comes
