Meditation–peace
Exploring the hidden self
That lives within me
Something I had never known
But glad I finally found

In The Angriest Sky
In the angriest sky
Peace doth prevail.
Her rains, the tenderest kiss
Baptizing this poor sinner.
Look not upon her in dismay,
For beyond her blackness is light.
A serenity beyond outward appearance
Offered to thee if thine eyes you will open.
All is not as bleak as thou believest,
Thy turmoil is but momentary,
Soon to depart if thou wilt allow,
Affording ingress to a brighter day.

Blue Skies And Fair Winds (Senryu)
Blue skies and fair winds
Pure harmony of nature
A lesson to learn
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A Kaleidoscope
A kaleidoscope
Colors of the rainbow
Ever changing.
Each twist a new pattern.
Pointed toward the light…
More vibrant are its wonders
While darkness…
Depresses its beauty
Leaving it muted and bland.
Such is the life of man.
Each moment…
A twist of the kaleidoscope
New and fresh.
Vibrant when lived in the light,
Depressing and deadly
When lived in darkness.
How easy it is to wallow,
Rotting from the blackness in life
If one is consumed,
When the light and love
Is well within reach
…If one chooses to grasp it.

Hidden Amongst Fear (Tanka)
Hidden amongst fear
Is power and potential
If you will dig deep
Don’t look to the external
It’s been in you all along
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Happiness (Acrostic)
Has there not been enough killing, enough hate
All centered around religious faith?
Perhaps kindness and love would be a better solution;
Plying our ingenuity to the pursuits of peace and joy
Instead of weapons of human destruction.
Never has there been such a proliferation!
Ever more I believe the right path is unfettered love,
Something we are born with, but many of us lose through cynicism.
Strive to regain it and you may witness the rebirth of childlike joy.

Visions In My Mind (Tanka)
Visions in my mind
Vivid as day though eyes closed
Finally at peace
In silence I’m transported
Through joyful meditation
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Under Cloud Soaked Skies (Haiku)
Under cloud soaked skies
An aimless wanderer strolls
At peace with the world
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Center Has Been Lost
Center has been lost
Chakras not finding balance
Emotions rampant
I seek answers from within
In council with the Divine
I believe The Way
I can feel it in my soul
Though at times muddled
Living in Light and in Love
Brings life into perspective
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I Am Daily Blessed
I am daily blessed
Wanting nothing more of life
Than that which I have
My wife and children comfort
These are all I need
Perhaps I’m simple
Unmotivated to some
But I am happy
One day I will pass smiling
While they wallow in regret
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
