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!  

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

My Nana

In her small frame, a child-like grace /
But her mind, a beacon to light this place /
Filled with memories of old Dublin's streets /
Where laughter danced to timeless beats

The Third Queen

In this space between two stories /
It’s time to lie fallow again /
To hold my body in the dark /
Just as I hold my breath

Lady Righteous

Her mass rolls in each sound uniquely followed by the next. /
Venturing out seems daunting but what lies within you is even more haunting.

Scanning the Dream Time

But phoenix within, dormant and still /
Awaited the moment, the strength to instill /
From ashes rose a spirit anew /
To face the darkness, to find what is true

Determined Heart

In a world of shadows, her soul takes flight /
Embarking on a journey, seeking inner light /
A quest for truth, a path unknown /
A heart in search of seeds once sown
