Poetry Minisode - "Sacred Love": Infusing more soul, trust, and truth into your creative practice

poetry minisode May 18, 2026

In this podcast episode of Soul-Led Creative Women, I share a deeply personal poetry minisode titled “Sacred Love”

This poem emerged from a deeper reflection on creative intuition, soul-led action, and what it means to create from truth instead of pressure. It speaks to the quiet reclaiming that can happen when we stop forcing creativity to fit external expectations and begin honouring the natural rhythm, timing, and emotional depth of our inner world instead.

At its heart, this piece explores creativity as something sacred and deeply personal — a conversation with the soul rather than a performance for approval. It reflects the tension between surface-level validation and the deeper call to create from honesty, intuition, emotion, and self connection. Through imagery of paint, whispers, balance, and emotion, the poem invites us back into a more intuitive relationship with creativity… one guided less by pressure and more by presence, trust, and the courage to listen within.

Sacred Love

In between sacred desire
and surface level praise,
lay brush strokes and sketches
And the faintest haze

You don’t own my clock,
you won’t steal this from me.
My schedule is soulful,
we must both let it be.

The whisper to begin,
does not want mental chatter,
fake promises and grand gestures,
they simply don’t matter

The deep call from within,
the voice that won’t settle,
The parts seeking art
don’t easily rattle

Shut out the noise all around,
discover the wisdom underground.
Paint spatters, and jewel tones,
find balance in my painting’s bones

Filled with generous emotion, healing and pain,
oozing love and light into every day.

A Reflection for You

You may wish to gently reflect on this:

Where in your creative practice have you been creating to meet expectations…
and where are you being invited to create from something deeper, quieter, and more true?
