Poetry by Lily Christie

On the horizon in a sea of colour,

The sun is waving its daily goodbye, An ocean of orange, pink and purple, A rainbow of clouds in the distant sky.

The sun, a ball of fire blazing,

Sinking below where I cannot spy, A misty veil of gold and red,

A rainbow of clouds in the distant sky.

And when the sun has almost gone, The sprinkled stars like twinkling eyes, Glitter over the fading colours, A rainbow of clouds in the distant sky.

Lily Christie.
