Loftiest of Goals

Loftiest of goals

Are nothing without action

Procrastination

Teach Me If You Must

Teach me if you must

Lessons like this are hard learned

Bloody and brutal

I expected nothing less

For having used my free will

To Sink Or To Swim (Senryu)

To sink or to swim

A choice we make every day

So what will it be

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

Fate (Senryu)

Fate–do you believe

Or is this just our free will

Guiding destiny

O’ How Man Grasps For A Higher Power

O’ how man grasps for a Higher Power

Looking for answers to someone unseen

Praying for knowledge before the final hour

Asking recognition for all that we’ve been

 

Nay–seldom does the Divine ever respond

Rather resting squarely on the faith of man

Free-will determining what we will become

No one there to take us by the hand

 

Responsible are we for making our way

Following the path that we choose

Easy it is, surely no one will say

This life is ours to live or to lose

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

 

I Think – A Tanka

I think…I’m thinking

Ne’er ceasing, ever changing

Like tides ebb and flow

Under natures influence

Yet free to carve my own course
