Goodbye, Fire in the Fire Tree, Goodbye

Dr Abe V Rotor

The fire in the fire tree is being doused by the entry of the monsoon. This is a reprint from an older post in response to popular requests.

Fire trees (Delonix regia) in full bloom. UP Diliman QC

Rage with fire, burn the sky, bleed the heart,

Fire the kiss of life, fire the kiss of death; 

And when your petals fall, so with your seed - 

Fire the kiss of death, fire the kiss of life; 

And beauty the brief passing of time and grief. ~
