Index of Poems and Pictures

You are the ground of my very being
My bejeweled cross beckoned me
Jeweled cross. Crossed jewels.
I stand in Your light.
God, you are a stream of light
I empty into You.
You hollow me out.
Looking at the vast night sky

Ms. Sheridan explains her current project: "For several months, I have been writing free verse poetry and reflections. I felt inspired to loosely link them with pre-existing photos I have taken the last couple of years. Although the photos evoke some word or phrase in the poem, they are not literal references. If you would like to contact me, my e mail address is jbs1@localnet.com."
