Graceful symphony
Statuette’s sweetest music
On Hummingbirds wings

Beautiful liar

Using your looks to deceive

Deadly black widow

I See The Beauty

I see the beauty

Surrounding in rainbow hues

Muted by the pain

Clouds Hang Low And Dark

Clouds hang low and dark

Masking our sacred mountains

Native spirits play

The Spark Extinguished

The spark extinguished,

There is no kindling to reignite the flame.

Light as air, the ash is blown to the four winds

Until nary a trace can be found.

What proof is there that it ever really existed

That it belonged to this dimension.

Attempts to congeal fail

As the miniscule journey ever farther afield.

Their mark on this world, nil in the eyes of many,

Insignificant and unimportant,

This would be wrongly assumed.

We would not know this place without them,

So intertwined is all matter

That without the most minute speck

Life would be forever altered from this reality.

There is nothing insignificant or unimportant,

From the lowly ash and graceful dragonfly

To the mighty elephant and the whole of mankind,

Everything visible and invisible is the perfect creation…

Under Heaven.

Nature Comes Alive (Haiku)

Nature comes alive

With the first sliver of dawn

The morning commute

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

I Listened

I listened, held my breath,

In between the whir of passing cars

I could here the sound of sparrows.

How strange this seemed,

As if I had never heard their song before.

Perhaps my ear has become more finely tuned,

Nay–very unlikely I suppose.

No, it is more likely that I shut up my mind,

Its incessant ramblings over things of little importance

Worries of work, family, responsibilities,

All imposed by me and this cursed ego.

For a brief moment there was blessed silence.

It leaves me thinking,

Had I only stopped sooner

The sparrows angelic song might have never left my ears.

Flower Filled Ravine (Haiku)

Flower filled ravine

Planter for nature’s bounty

Painted in pastels

Heaven’s Eye Opens (Haiku)

Heaven’s eye opens

Waking all things in its charge

Welcoming sunrise

Slightest Signs Of Life Show (Tanka)

Slightest signs of life show
Through blades of grass, green of stem
Call of birds, babies
Winter cannot hold them back
They are forces of nature
