the painting on the wall

the painting on the wall
a red horse with rider falls
a young woman runs to help
an old cowboy makes a call

the painting on the wall
dark ravens gently fall
onto winter's scary branch
in blue sky above it all

the painting on the wall
Adam walks before the fall
in the garden's afternoon
always hearing when God calls

the painting on the wall
old dead leaves of autumn fall
the colors soft upon the eye
winter breath upon us all

the painting on the wall
illness brings another fall
sadness fills the weary heart
and to God the young man calls

the painting on the wall
into embrace the lovers fall
kissing long and deep and true
inside this painting on the wall
