The tree's song

Fallen purple petals
drift onto the grass,
littering the ground like snow on a winter day.
Flowers degrade,
seeping into the grass, mush once more.
The tree's past purple
now showered in green
leaves, whispering in the wind.
As the sun hides,
leaves shed like a snake changing its skin,
the barren bones of the branches
singing a song like a violin.
Sunlight shines onto the tree.
Its branches sprout, blooming green
leaves, musing at the sun, playing a song for me.
Flower buds twinkle from last night's dew,
lavender and violet colours coating the tree once more,
as I sit with the fallen petals,
basking in the sunlight's galore.
