Oh my goodness!!!! This poem is magical, marvelous! So moving. I was there with you in Ink & Flame this year, sharing that campfire. Your words lift me above the ordinary into a realm of spirit and power. Breathtaking!! Thank you and bravo to you for sharing by video!
Thank you so much! That part started life as 'words glow, long after we go', which I still might like more, but it didn't quite fit in this poem. Thank you for such kind words!
Thank you! I get so nervous making these videos, but I know poetry speaks differently sometimes when it's heard, so it means so much for you to say that.

Oh thank you! That’s so kind of you to say. I read this one at an open mic last week and loved every second. It’s all thanks to Ink & Flame!!x
This is my favourite part:
I write to bear witness
to make sense of the life of this soul;
that when I go, her embers yet glow.
Plus bravery points for the video reading!

My goodness Louise - so powerful. The words you use are delicious. Thank you for sharing ♥️
I loved the part about tearing up the rules of society. Such strong, thought-provoking language!
This is truly fabulous - loved it!!
My favourite lines:
‘What legacy we leave
we weave into stories
to whisper in ears’.
Thank you & please share more here 🧡
