Modern Art Skyline (Tanka)

Modern art skyline

From the brush of Picasso

A true masterpiece

Painted in antiquity

It is irreplaceable

Carrying the Instrument

Carrying the instrument of your own death

Jeering crowds spitting and taunting as you go

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do

Cried with sincerity for these misguided souls

Even in this ultimate humiliation

Your faith never faltered

And by that we have been saved

…How could you not love Him

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Colossal Mistake

Colossal mistake

Of Biblical proportions

Unforgivable

Most vilified of mortals

Christ’s Judas Iscariot


~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

To Believe or Not

To believe or not

Is a question of one’s faith

As it’s always been.

We can never know for sure

Until we leave this body,

Whether their is more

Or if this is all there is.

So…what will it be?

Meandering creek

Whispers softly as it flows

Eternal journey

What Is It You See (Senryu)

What is it you see

Trapped behind my pale blue eyes

Spark of God in flesh?

We Live Life In Fear

We live life in fear

Afraid of the dark, of death

Of what comes after

Why, when we’ve done this before

Many, many times over

We’re born and reborn

Working on our mortal souls

Until we become as one

…With the Divine

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Fate (Senryu)

Fate–do you believe

Or is this just our free will

Guiding destiny

Drift Amongst The Stars (Haiku)

Drift amongst the stars

Each one a spark of heaven

In the form of man
