Sunkissed

Freewritten this afternoon after a spot of gardening.

Amber fusion of sanguine tints,
ignite to more than what was thought.
Kindled; spread is love in years
and in all that is bore and taught.
At times it happens, it requires a prop
and often to you I look for hints
as you inspire, give wisdom and glow.
In hue you are less autumn, more gold.
In greying I am many a time still green,
in time with you I flower and seed
and though my blindness see such tones.
To see your love through our daughter's eyes
we have been sunkissed in this life.

Author's Note

Our sunkiss flowers spread further than expected this summer, and are so big I've had to prop them up today. I want to write more about my children and partner as well as focusing on my awareness project as not all parts of the world are dark.

When I read your poem and before I read your author notes, I thought he may have been doing a spot of gardening but his mind is elsewhere. Your final two lines tell me this. You are blessed with love from your partner and daughter. Beautiful imagery here. You gave me much colour and I love flowers too, so I thank you.

this really moves me...that bond of family...and seeing the world and experiencing the world through our child's eyes...inspiring us in our autumn to still feel and behave as if we are in our summer.
nice one, Jordan
