Springtime Never Sleeps
a poem by Sharonah (Sharon) Robinson
springtime
never sleeps
it lingers
dormant
in our imagination
until the next
rebirth of new
commands our view
giving us
a glimpse
of our own
ongoing possibilities
forever emerging
like a glimmer
of sweetness
and renewal
secretly lingering
all year
within the dark
midnight of sacred hibernation.
Notes on Dance, Music & Writing
I have occasionally worked with musicians, for my plays and poetry. Sometimes, there have been either spontaneous or rehearsed performances. I have enjoyed reading my poems with musical accompaniment, including jazz and classical music. There are ” song-poems” in some of my plays, and I would be intrigued to connect with musicians to develop and to co-create the music for my words. The possibility of having a CD of my poems, with music, also interests me.
I am gradually finding that I am very comfortable sharing my poetry and creative dance in liturgical settings. This artistic expression is a form of prayer. I also enjoy having my poetry accompanied by music for this purpose.
