With just the rags on your back,
and god's good earth under your feet.
The sun as your window,
with water to cool the heat.
Three meals in your belly,
blanket of stars when you sleep.
You have everything it takes.
Just close your eyes and leap...

This is beautiful. I love how descriptive you are. Only I wouldn't capitalize the word 'leap', because then it sounds a bit forced, and you want it to sound natural. I love everything else though, especially those descriptions... and I wish you the best of luck in getting through your divorce.
