Even the sun rests
Laying down at the end of day
Welcoming the moon
Never have they competed
Each knows its role in nature
When their time is over
They take solace in their work
And a job well done
Perhaps man could learn something
If he just paid attention

Today…a fresh start
The living Christ has risen
As a reminder
Each year a chance to return
Him to his sacred namesake
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It’s not about the eggs
Candy or Easter bunny
But resurrection
Forgiveness is its meaning
For all of our mortal sins
Believing or not
Does not detract from longing
For eternal life
Something beyond this body
Into the realm of the spirit

Religious freedom
Legal discrimination
For modern zealots
Jesus Christ would be appalled
At your narrow mindedness
Constitutionally guaranteed
Why do we need another law
.

Look all around you
Don’t you see the Master’s work
Artists perfection

Revered and reviled
In modernity and antiquity,
Very few realize she is dying.
Ever less grand she trickles;
Redirected for selfishness sake.
Justify as you will,
Only time will reveal your fate.
Reality will creep in upon you,
Draining your life blood
As you have drained hers…
Never realizing until its too late.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Illness…religion
One thing brings out the other
Prayers for better health
Sickness shows the frailty
That only Heaven can cure
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Quiet at sunrise
Daybreak’s very first moment
Peaceful as it gets

The passage of time
Only man feels its effects
Because he watches
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Imagination is…
Inspiration for the painter’s brush,
Muse for the writer’s quill,
Angst for the actor’s role,
Gas for the engine of invention,
Irreverence to the twisted of mind,
Nuance for the singers song,
Ability for those challenged,
Tenacity in the hearts of the weak,
Ingenuity in the hands of the creative,
Omniscience in the eyes of the faithful,
Nobility in the lives of the insignificant,
…And so much more.
