A different kind of fire

Rooted she is to the ground.
Against her will she is bound.
Still her spirit runs wild and free,
No shear to tame twig and leaf.
For ten months ragged and worn
But every Spring, fire reborn.

    Love it! Not a happy thought about her being rooted against her will (but aren't we all .. we are all rooted to a physical earth in a physical body that ages everyday).
    But I loved the freedom that extended above and beyond the roots. Being reborn every Spring yet more mature than the year before.
    Free yet Bound .. Rebirth of Fire as the red leaves reach for the Sun. Yet not free to change the color of its blooms to Snow white.
