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!

Cacao’s Luteal Alchemical Journey
In the depths of moon's mysterious gleam,
Within the luteal phase, a sacred dream,
A journey awaits, with cacao's embrace,
A dance of hormones, a tranquil space.

Vision of life
The stars and the moon, the sun and the sea. The earth and the water, the birds and the bees.

You entered, invited The sacred chamber Crucible of hopes, dreams, desires. You entered unclean, unshaven

Meeting a Master
In the twilight of her forty years, A woman, wise beyond her tears, Gathered courage, faced her fears, To sit with Huachuma, the master seer.

My Journey with the Wolf
I think I was five when I first met the wolf. That is my first recollection anyway. I did not know he was a spirit ally and I did not know that I was five.

IT’S TIME
It’s time to speak up Time to no longer stand by Saying nothing It’s time to act

From the Pregnant void of Emptiness
Your gifts abound around me They from you with me Ignite this process of becoming

The Beauty of the Three Sisters
The Three Sisters system of planting originated with indigenous farmers in North America. Three plants - corn, beans and squash, each does a different job, like three sisters helping each other out.

Rise and Fall
Rising and falling like nature's flower, in nature's hour, endless. Continuing and never ending, the flower grows and the flower goes.

Growing Pains
How many re-births can one have in one’s lifetime?
And does it depend entirely upon how many times one allows oneself to die

Mapacho’s Embrace
In the realm of sacred plants, one stands mighty tall, Mapacho, with its wisdom, it promises to enthral.

A Different Kind of Pile-Up
My stumble then fall
Causes the usual pile-up—
Shock collides into Judgement
And thrusts her forward
To rear-end Shame
