Dreaming Jewels
I’ve never known a sadness
As deep as the ocean floor
Crying rivers of sorrow
While pearls line the shore
Counting priceless gems
When no one cares to touch my soul
Is like using a silver spoon
To fill a six foot hole
Oh, that the horror of this knowledge
Would pass me by like a cloud full of rain
The moisture of my silent tears
Washing away my layers of splintered pain
Alas, I’m left upon my soggy pillow
Longing for sleep to take my eyes
Dreams contain my pleasures
And fantasies have become my secret demise

Note: I'm such a drama queen!!! I was in the depths of despair because, try as I might, I
could not change my husband's heart; he would not walk with me in my pursuit of Jesus and
wholiness, so I would become a divorced woman.
