Gather up your dreams
Clutch them tightly to your breast
Never letting go
Believe they will manifest…
This becomes reality

Gather up your dreams
Clutch them tightly to your breast
Never letting go
Believe they will manifest…
This becomes reality
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Through a sleepless night
Filled with abundant chaos
I arise thankful
Accepting this rocky road
As a temporary turn
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Though this shell withers
Returning to whence it came
I shall never die
Time cannot kill the spirit
For the spirit’s always been
It is eternal
Without substance to hinder
Therefore unrestrained
In this I take great comfort
That there is–eternal life
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
By judging others
We miss the miniscule spark
Genius in the flesh
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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 ~~
Saplings bend in wind
Because they must to survive
Man could learn from trees
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Visions in my mind
Vivid as day though eyes closed
Finally at peace
In silence I’m transported
Through joyful meditation
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Subtle energy,
A gift–to me from the ancestors.
My way of giving to others.
Not as the source,
But as a humble conduit.
I am minute,
A speck of something much larger.
Using the gentlest of touch
Or even none at all
Healing from the Divine passes.
Knowing energy–
Through the most mortal of hands.
Some call it evil,
The work of the devil,
But it is not, how could it be
When offered with love.
Perhaps its mystery scares them
Or perhaps it threatens their beliefs,
I do not know.
Such a strange twist of logic is this,
To dismiss something born of goodness
That can never harm.
If only all beliefs were as pure
And as in tune with nature as this.
Would not the world be a more peaceful, loving…
And less violent place.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Celestial peace
Seeps into this earthly soul
A slice of heaven
Perhaps this mortal being
Is a piece of the Divine
Not just in image
But a spark of God itself
If only we’d see
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
