What is 6+3?

Poetry

In Saoró we be­lieve that read­ing and writ­ing po­et­ry sup­ports a spir­i­tu­al and  cre­ative life be­cause they fos­ter deep pro­cess­ing, emo­tion­al ex­pres­sion, and a  height­ened aware­ness of the hu­man ex­pe­ri­ence. Po­et­ry beau­ti­ful­ly dis­tills com­plex  feel­ings and uni­ver­sal truths into evoca­tive lan­guage, al­low­ing us to con­nect more  deeply with our in­ner selves and the world around us. En­gag­ing with po­et­ry cul­tivates mind­ful­ness, in­spires our imag­i­na­tion, and en­cour­ages a sense of won­der  and awe, all of which nur­ture our spir­i­tu­al growth. Po­et­ry also stim­u­lates our creativ­i­ty by chal­leng­ing the mind to find new ways of see­ing and ex­press­ing re­al­i­ty,  sup­port­ing deep ex­plo­ration and self-dis­cov­ery es­sen­tial to a vi­brant, full and authen­tic life. It is both food and med­i­cine for the soul. 

In Ire­land we have a strong lin­eage of po­et­ry go­ing back to the an­cient times  of the revered trav­el­ing Bard. Every year we host a po­et­ry month on Saoró and we  get to wit­ness the in­cred­i­ble depth and beau­ty of this sa­cred form of cre­ative wor ship that still holds a place in Irish hearts.  

Got po­et­ry you would love to share? We warm­ly in­vite you to send in your work  and we can show­case it on Saoró. This space is free, heart-led, and open to all who  cre­ate with pur­pose, play, and soul. Just send your de­tails & work to us and we will get in touch!

Power

The release and let go /
The ebb and the flow /
The emotions arise /
Be still, acknowledge, and let go

Monsters

If you look for monsters /
You will surely find them— /
Simple stringy ones /
To start /
Cute with saucer eyes /
And dripping needle teeth

She Calls Me

The sea, a paradox profound and wide /
In whispers soft, in roaring tide /
She cradles dreams in her gentle sway /
Yet fiercely claims what’s in her way

That Black Dress

This black dress bears the marks of time /
A poignant part of sorrow’s rhyme /
It speaks of loss, but also grace /
A gentle, dignified embrace

Earth’s Whisper

Pachamama, mother of all /
Her heartbeat resonates, a primal call /
In each drop of rain and every grain of sand /
Her spirit dances, vibrant and grand

She is Wild & Free

In the depths of her eyes, a universe untamed /
Where constellations of dreams softly flamed /
Her spirit, unbridled, like rivers that flow /
Through valleys and canyons where wildflowers grow.

Healing & Seeing Through Poetry

Poetry also allows me to approach the painful in myself, to gently explore it, understand its underlying quality, to uncover the shapes of grief or anger hidden beneath a difficult event or feeling. It allows the discovery of the nature of what I am trying to approach - to understand that “it is like this”, “it is like that” is incredibly helpful - it allows for greater insight.

Shelter

My luck is a cardboard box /
And food that is scarce /
I don’t belong /
In a world that does not care /
That cannot distinguish /
My pavement body /
On the footpath

Joy

The doubts are subsiding /
The spirit within /
The weird and the wonderful /
Where do I begin?

The Road to Self-Discovery

I see the light breaking through the crack inside this wall /
And in this moment of cacao clarity, illusion begins to fall /
For what I thought I never knew /
Can be learned each day as I start with breath that is new
