Quiet of the soul
Where we all can become one
With the Divine Spirit

Time of Transition
Time of transition
Inevitable as birth
This is not the end
It’s simply the beginning
Of your spirit’s next journey
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Shhh, Can You Hear It
Shhh, can you hear it
The beating of your own heart
Is it not soothing
Like a classic masterpiece
Chasing silence to be heard
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Dignity
Do what you will to me
I am immune.
Grab at me, gnaw on my bones,
Nick my veins and let me bleed out
I will not submit.
This body is not me, I am eternal
You have not the strength to reduce me
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
What Is It You See (Senryu)
What is it you see
Trapped behind my pale blue eyes
Spark of God in flesh?

Drift Amongst The Stars (Haiku)
Drift amongst the stars
Each one a spark of heaven
In the form of man

Drink The Frigid Morn (Tanka)
Drink the frigid morn
Feel your body come alive
With each vivid breath
This, the invisible force
Visible to be honored
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I Am But A Ghost (Tanka)
You reach out for me
My vessel–something to hold
But it’s illusion
You cannot touch who I am
For it is not this body
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Temper Your Rage
Temper your rage toward others dear one
It blinds you and fogs the mirror.
Incapable of seeing yourself in others, hate festers,
Turning gangrenous, unable to heal.
What angers you is that which you cannot admit;
You are Siamese–connected by a tiny spark,
The spark of the soul, beyond our human frailties.
Anger, hate, race, creed, color melt away
When viewed in the brightness of Divine light.
Unconditional love takes up residence
Welcoming the essence of all into her warmth.
With this, differences can no longer survive…
And for once we can live in total peace.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Between Birth And Death
Between birth and death
Lies the place of our struggle
Pain our companion
Yet through all this there is love
Lurking beyond our egos
≈
Unconditional
Many strive to attain It
Though few ever do
Human temptation obstructs
Luring us with its promise
≈
Left to our own wants
This incarnation is doomed
Destined to repeat
Maybe the next time around
We will find the purest love
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
