Fallen Leaf

Kindle the heart of that lonely leaf
Fallen from a fallen tree
Where once life flourished,
Now golden yellow its mask,
Faded green its skin
Beneath the earth and beyond the sky
Fire looms to consume all
But before it shreds to bits of gray
Kindle the heart of that lonely leaf

Fallen from a fallen tree
--I think this line could be stronger without repeating the word "fallen"

Maybe

Fallen from a fatal tree or Fallen from a wasted tree
--something like that--

I like how you have really detailed that one leaf so that a picture is seen in the readers mind.**
