If I Were to Paint a Picture of Autumn

If I were to paint a picture of autumn
No palette would do any good
I could use the colours from nature
I’d use crimsons and azures, I would.

If I were to paint a picture of autumn
I’d start from the top of the sky
I’d use the cerulean from the wings of a bluebird
That in the autumn, swiftly flies.

If I were to paint a picture of autumn
I wouldn’t forget the leaves
I’d use the lava from the depths of the earth
That every volcano receives.

If I were to paint a picture of autumn
I would paint a bubbling spring
I’d use the wildest flowers to adorn it
And the emerald moss that clings.

If I were to paint a picture of autumn
I’d paint it to spread joy all around!
