What do you think this poem is about?

Snakes and Ladders

The beauty of an apple tree
Only for my eyes to see
Living in my memory
As long as it chose to be

I watch the slow end of day
What I see I cannot say
In my mind it only lay
As long as it chose to stay

What fortune wills I try
Other lives may pass me by
What I am, I'll take to lie
Leave this skin and go to die
