The Painters Palette

God's colour palette
  Splashes the autumn landscape
    With it's vivid hues
Creating a tapestry.
Autumn's artistry displayed.

Bright fields of pumpkins
   Herald the coming season.
      Fall at it's finest.
The most colourful season
That is bestowed upon us.

The painter's palette
   Which now lies beneath the trees,
     Falls finest colours
Form a mural at our feet,
For us to walk in splendor.
