Very nice! I love this poem yet have a deep conflict with the poetic form of haiku!

The 'only now' makes me think that trees won't be here forever to be beautiful. This paints a colorful image, I like it. I also love the title.

I'm not sure exactly how the haiku title and description correlates with the haiku itself, but it's still a beautiful piece neverless. Also, I'm not the judge of this but you're syllable pattern seems to be 4-7-3. . . Which I'm not sure if you meant. Either way, I love how you describe the tree almost "gleaming in an amber sun." I particularly love that you added a color in there. -Warrior
