A child's paint brush

Is the sky half full with blue, or half empty with orange
still a page to be filled by a child's paint brush

dotted and solid lines
for a child to write the story
that captures the sky

arms extended for mom to hold on

the orange rises
and the blue grows faint

the tree struggles to hold
on to their yellow leaves but can't

they shed their skin
to show the fall's skeleton

the child can't figure out
how to draw the cool
restriciting air

so he signs his name
and hands it over
