Preserved Colour Poem by Jeff Hobbs

Flowers of many colours
Red and blue and gold
Amber flowing from the trees
Nestling memories of old
Colours kept within my sight
Indigo to red
Nature preserved in living hope
Eternity not dead
Jewels of light are shining out
Always spectrums bright
Clover makes a bed of green
Kisses in the night
Yellow sunshine sparkles through
Brilliant wonderous rays
Etching pictures in the sky
Roaring like the waves
Never will I forget the sight
In my memory clear
Children of the sky and sea
Each one of them so dear.

(19 March 1981)
