And peer into Heaven’s eyes
Your future awaits

She sees what I can’t
Knowing what I only sensed
My life’s destiny
Revealed by a mystics eye
An intuitive minds lens

Winding Road of Life
Winding road of life
Each must make their own future
Thriving in the now

Life In the Present (Haiku)
Life in the present
Perhaps our most precious time
What else do we have

Looking Across the Field
Looking across the field
Sun blinding me
I’m in a trance,
Mesmerized by the grassy wave.
How did I get to this place
Where so much promise lies before me,
Yet believing the best is already behind?
With each step I trample the tender shoots,
Very much like my dreams…
At one time flowing freely
Bending with the wind,
Now ground back into the earth
From which they were born.

I’ve Tripped And Fallen
I’ve tripped and fallen,
Arose battered, cut and bruised
Yet I’m undeterred.
Life is not always painless
Nor always terribly kind.
Instinct says to run,
To hide from that which injures
Becoming recluse.
I refuse to run or to hide,
Cowering in human fear;
Preferring instead
To face my future head on
Whatever may come.

I Am Not A Wise Man

I am not a wise man,
Questions–I have so many,
A seeker am I.
No–this is not a complaint.
My path is profoundly worn,
Worn by ancestors
All belonging to my tribe,
My brother humans.
Neither the first nor the last;
Others will travel this road
Leaving blood and sweat
As markers of their journey…
Of this I am sure.
I take solace in this fact
That I’ve not ventured alone.

Each Second-hand Tick (Senryu)
Each second-hand tick
A chance for reinvention
The past is the past

Nighttime Horizon (Tanka)
Nighttime horizon
Ever thick and unnerving
So like our futures
Riddled with anxiety
Let us focus on the now
  ;
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It’s All I Can Do
It’s all I can do
To focus on this mortal life.
I know there is more,
That time is an invention,
Something man can comprehend.
To Realized Ones
Past, present, future are now.
This I desire,
Though it seems so far away.
I long to spend time seeking,
Looking deep inside
To find that unified place
Where God and I become one.
