The Pick Axe of Divorce

I can't tell you
what my hell has been like
but if the wrinkles
on my face
and the tears
from my eyes
could tell their story
you would weep for me
and groan in pain
for you would
be inspired by
my resilience,
moved by my courage,
amazed at my inner strength
and you would exclaim,
"Damn, that woman survived
all that crap!"

Always remember, no matter what crap you're going through, that beautiful lotus flowers grow in mud and a treasure lies under a mound of dirt.

Love Is My Religion

I sought God
100% of my soul
I gave
In my giving of
all of myself
He revealed my
heart's treasure,
My Beloved,
So that I may
desire Love
as my only religion

Sapphire's Letter To Arion: Miss Our Friendship

   Oh Arion, since Thaddeus has left I sleep poorly and the visions that do visit me only haunt me.
   How I miss our friendship. The memories of you, Thaddeus, and I playing like children, with no cares, revisit me often. Those memories keep him and you alive within my heart.
   I hate how Thaddeus left; abruptly and with another woman. He broke my heart. I have tried to put the pieces back together but have failed miserably.
   You remind me so much of him. In my own mind, I thought that by loving him I was also loving you. There are so many similarities between the both of you (especially in bad habits), that you both mirror each other.
   And even though I know Thaddeus is gone and never coming back, and the way he left me I should hate him- I do not. I miss him. I miss you. I love him and I love you.
   I miss the days of laughing in the rain, climbing in trees, basking in the sun, and exploring new landscapes with you and him. How I will cherish those memories forever.
   I hope you are taking care of yourself and having gentle thoughts towards yourself. My thoughts for you are only beautiful. As always, I only wish you true happiness.

All of My Affection,
Sapphire

St. Francis of Assisi: A Powerful Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is discord, union.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
And where there is sadness, joy.
Divine Master, grant that I may not seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Imagination

It is a great mystery- spirit. Those diamonds in the night sky shine like lanterns; inviting us to look beyond what one sees and to imagine what one can't see. 

That is the door one must enter through to travel to the other world. That door is called imagination.

Sixth Sense

I can sense your self worth inside of me.
I can sense how heavy your life can be. 
I can sense your playful nature that rarely
you let others see.
I can sense how you wish you could be
towards me.
I can sense your self doubt in achieving
your dreams. 
I can sense your worries about how well
by others you will be received.
I can sense you do love me and this
you think makes you weak.
But Darling, you are so much more
than what you perceive.
