Poetry Minisode - "Dare to Dream" | Sam Horton

In this mini-episode of Soul Led Creative Women, Sam Horton reads an original poem taken from a personal reflective creative moment of her every day life.

This one is titled "Dare to Dream"

And asks the question:
What is one burning desire your heart has been whispering to you, and how might you honour it by taking even the smallest intentional step today?

Sam says: This poem speaks to the quiet yet powerful truth that heart-centred intentions are not simply goals or wishes, but sacred flames born from within. Unlike fleeting desires or external measures of success, they arise from the soul’s deepest longings, those whispers that cannot be taught in classrooms or captured by the mind alone. They remind us that our truest guidance is found not in logic, but in the currents of intuition, beauty, and wonder that flow through us when we dare to listen.

The imagery of breadcrumb trails, fairy lights, and cosmic darts reflects the mystical nature of following these intentions. The journey may not always be linear, but it is alive with synchronicity and a sense of magic that unfolds the more we trust. The poem invites us to remember that we are each guided by an inner compass, one that is bold, limitless, and entirely our own.

Your invitation to soulful reflection:
What is one burning desire your heart has been whispering to you, and how might you honour it by taking even the smallest intentional step today?

Dare to Dream

When I dare to dream with my heart open,
the horizon stretches farther than I’ve ever known.
For claiming what the soul desires holds a magic,
that winds of truth can only blow.

Bold and brilliant, and so wide reaching,
you won’t find in schools, these soulful teachings,
for what lights you up is buried deep inside,
leaving the tiny, limited mind, far, far behind.

Not a goal or a nice to have,
not a fleeting daydream or shiny badge,
but a burning desire from a limitless space,
propelling me forward in a one woman race.

A curious breadcrumb trail,
adorned with magic dust and fairy lights,
powered by honesty, beauty and delicious delights.

A path of intention led by the heart,
answering the call,
of the soul’s pure and mystical, cosmic dart.

 

Take care,
Sam x
