It's treatment seems Haiku. But,it has too many
beats (7/6/7) and Haiku's are 5/7/5. But, like a
Haiku it relates its deeper meaning with nature
metaphores. Ochre an natural iron ore used as pigment is expressive of lives lived and leaving their imprint on life (he indicates stone) after they're gone. Orange leaves to me say Autumn. And maybe the the rose
leaf imprints left behind clinging to 'stone' is the memory of it after it has gone.
