THE PAINTERS HAND

I CAN ALMOST SEE THE PAINTERS HAND
REACHING DOWN FROM FAR ABOVE
DELICATELY PAINTING WITH THE TOUCH OF HIS BRUSH
COLORS QUIETLY BURSTING AGLOW IN AUTUMNS HUSH
FROM THE GREAT SIERRA MOUNTAINS OF THE WEST
TO THE GREAT SMOKIES OF TENNESSEE
THE PAINTERS HAND!
MASTERFULLY PAINTING FOR YOU AND ME
NONE OTHER PAINTER CAN I DESCRIBE
SUCH ARTISTIC BEAUTY WE CANNOT HIDE
THE PAINTERS HAND
