His Palette of Autumn – v4

Rich, bold, stark colors, urgent
vividness of the season
God’s artistry so evident, so real
in his palette of autumn

bright lines of color, clear
ablaze, alive, shimmering
calling to us, to see, to look
to hear God’s call to us

layer upon layer, radiant color
living hue upon hue, flowing
all of them shouting your praises
to You, the Creator of the universe

all of creation singing one song, glorious
to your majesty, to your grace
showering beauty on the world
knowing in this season more than some

that like leaves, in their perfection, briefly
singing to you at the end of life, holy
in dying our victory, eternal
to see you in the courts of paradise
