The Painter’s Back
The Painter’s Back
Looking at the peak of fall,
Spreading o’er all the land,
There’s no doubt to it at all
The painter is God’s hand.
First, we see a splash of red
Tipping trees of green.
Colors splatter over head
Painting Master’s scene.
Spots of yellow dot the earth,
Brushed between the stately pine.
Golden tips to show it’s worth
Created in the Maker’s mind.
Strokes of orange, maroon and brown,
Add chartreuse, crimson, black.
Painted leaves caress the ground.
Look out, World! The Painter’s back.
