Golden Moment

Kaleigh Putnam

The hours of the day start dwindling down

The sun starts setting

beginning the show for the day

Ready to paint a masterpiece

It descends behind the trees

The color of the sky changes

the further the sun drops

First is pink,

A deep fuchsia color

a calla lily

being draped over the sky

Next orange,

A warm color

like a marigold flower ready to bloom

Then red,

A deep and rich color

like a rose petal

Finally,

Comes one golden moment

A bright yellow gold

Glowing like a fire

Blazing across the sky

— Kaleigh Putnam
