The Island is Still - Found Poem from Lord of the Flies

The high sea beyond
Far off along the beach
The build-up of clouds continued
White and brown

A blink of bright light beyond the forest
There was no light left save that of the stars
Colours drained from water and trees
 Blue of all shades and shadowy green

The Sun had gone
Butterflies danced in the middle
Glittery fish flucked hither
Silver of moon rose over the horizon

In the darkness of early morning
Down the side of the mountain
A speck above the island
From the dawn-pale beach to the dark mountain
