Wayward Star, Devotional Poems

By Sharon Lia Robinson

My poetry book, Wayward Star, Devotional Poems is available through Sheriar Books.

This collection includes poems evoking both the Catholic and Jewish traditions with my faith in Meher Baba, the Ancient One. Through Meher Baba’s love and grace I am inspired to visit my neighborhood Catholic Church for prayer, spiritual direction and friendship. This selection of poems reflects my pilgrimage.

From the Foreward by Charles Haynes, author of Meher Baba, The Awakener: “Read aloud the poems in this book, listen with the ears of the heart. Like all poems posted to what Sharon describes as ‘a cloud unknown,’ the poems in this volume can open doorways to the Silence where truth dwells deep within all living things.”

Published 2017.

Here is an excerpt from the 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.
