My dear Suyin, this is such a beautiful, heartfelt piece, yellow feels so alive in your words, carrying memories, warmth, and hope all at once. I love how it moves from the fragility of fallen leaves to the sweetness of shared moments, like jasmine and tea, and ends with such a powerful message of resilience and growth. Your writing always glows with so much depth and meaning, I’m in awe of you 🤍
Wishing you the happiest birthday, my friend! May your year be as bright and full of love as the yellow in your poem💛🌼

Happy birthday, Suyin! So happy to have found your writing this year.
The line "Yellow is the colour of a heart
that glows in the dark" really resonated with me in this season.

Happiest birthday, Suyin! If anyone can turn a yellow birthday cake into an exquisite poem, it is you. I adored this stanza:
Yellow is the colour of a heart
that glows in the dark,
showing the way home after
the leaves have fallen, when
the tree has whispered goodbye,
in a language we can’t understand –
Are we December baby twins? I celebrated mine on the 8th! x
