Curiosity
And fear thrive in the darkness
Weighing on our minds
Which one will we succumb to
Depends on which path we take
But do tread lightly
For in darkness evil lives
Waiting to punish
Those that dare to taunt it
For their own entertainment
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
In times of crisis
Forgetting to be thankful
Is easy to do

My mortality
Something I face every day
Yet I have no fear
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Sadness and tears, claim the soul for years…maybe a lifetime, but at what cost?
As mortals, death is the inevitable culmination of life, but this is of little consolation to the irrational minds of man.
We look to eternity…nay we believe that we are eternal to satisfy our fear of the inevitable. Is this not simply the denial of what we humans cannot change. Whether you believe in the Divine or that this is a life of finality is of little consequence. We can never truly know, except by the man made belief in faith.
Look at the broken souls around you, those trapped in a cycle of sorrow and realize that their suffering is, but a test of strength, a test of their fortitude that only they can come to terms with.
It is not our place to criticize or rationalize their suffering, but instead it is our purpose here on earth to sympathize and comfort those in need remembering that we all mourn in our own way.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Look into their eyes,
Can you see the glory in their souls,
Do you feel the oneness…
Their fibers intertwined with yours in this earthly plane?
Journey deep within,
It is there,
Hiding where it has always been…
Your humanity.
I do not believe in your hatred!
How can you look into the eyes of a child
And wish them harm?
How can you hear the cries of a mother for her son
And deny her pain?
How can a line drawn in the sand
Damn a man to certain death in the vicious desert?
Is their blood not red as yours?
Feel the beat of your own heart,
See beyond what your narrow vision shows,
Realize that you are nothing more than them!
Judgement day will reveal your fate by word and deed
Leaving you to find that YOU–
Just may be the least among men.
~~ Dominic R. DIFrancesco ~~
We look up to saints
Ordained many years ago
For intercession.
Still there are saints among us
If we take the time to look.
Living and breathing
Flesh and blood men and woman
Never canonized,
Yet they are just as special…
Instilled with both love and light.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Whispers in the wind
Sounds of God all around you
In utter silence
Turning your deaf ear forward
Will reap glorious rewards
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Sacred sound of Om,
Heard in your ears when all’s still.
Deny if you must,
But know the Divine’s speaking,
Taunting your soul to listen.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Water’s Symphony
Born to calm the troubled soul
Concerto of God

Destroyer Shiva
Hunts my elusive ego
All to free my soul
