The Children’s Home Stories and Poems
by Sharon Lia Robinson
The Children’s Home by Sharon Lia Robinson is now in print and may be ordered through Sheriar Books online or phone them at (843) 272-1339.
“The stories and poems in this book reflect in memory and imagination my childhood in two southern California children’s homes, from age seven to ten.
God was my messenger of faith that someday I could live in a happier place. My prayers were unexpectedly answered when I moved from Vista Del Mar Jewish Children’s Home to the David and Margaret Methodist Home.
I soon met Rabbi Michael and Ruth Robinson and their two children, and moved across the country with them to Croton-on-Hudson, New York. There, I began to write poetry.
Years later, I became a devotee of Meher Baba and learned of His historical visits to my village in 1931 and 1932.” –Sharon Lia Robinson, Introduction, Afterword, and Notes
Wayward Star, Devotional Poems
by Sharon Lia Robinson
My poetry book, Wayward Star, Devotional Poems by Sharon Lia Robinson is available online through Sheriar Books or phone them at (843) 272-1339.
This collection includes poems evoking both the Catholic and Jewish traditions with my faith in Meher Baba, the Ancient One.
Here is an excerpt from my poem “His Holy Will” on page 33 in the book.
pray work rest
dance dream
wear a scarf
because one loves God
be bold be meek
turn the other cheek
because one loves God
beg camp revamp
write a letter
get a postage stamp
write a tribute to Him
a Mass a communion hymn
because one loves God
draw the water at the well
take a drop from the wishing well
don’t be afraid
if you tire for a spell
because one loves God
kiss the wound
you found
hear the holy sound
let His glory
in your heart resound
because you love God
(Poem by Sharon Lia Robinson)
The Inner Daughter
by Sharon Lia Robinson
The Inner Daughter is a sequence of six poems for performance and libretto.
This experimental performance piece encompasses poetry, dance, music, theatre and visual art.
Experimenting with various ways to present the poetry for performance, I believe the most important thing I have learned as an artist is to follow my heart.
