Babies innocence
What do they see in their dreams
Whimsical smile
To be so naive again
Oh how I wish it could be

What is Our Purpose
What is our purpose
Living this life of struggle
With touches of joy
Fighting to enter this world
Then suffering to get out
In between is life
That can’t be taken with us
When we meet our end
Again I must ask…
What is our purpose

Trickling waters
Meander down polished rock
Peace of Zen Garden

Heart Sings to My Soul (Senryu)
Heart sings to my soul
A song only I can hear
Joyously living

Grey and Sullen Day
Grey and sullen day
Sun muted by heaven’s cloak
From window chairs view
Birds and bees care little
Refusing to deviate
A glorious show
Playing out on natures stage
Standing ovation

Even the Sun Rests

Even the sun rests
Laying down at the end of day
Welcoming the moon
Never have they competed
Each knows its role in nature
When their time is over
They take solace in their work
And a job well done
Perhaps man could learn something
If he just paid attention

We Drive in Silence
We drive in silence
I behind the wheel…focused
Her my passenger
Nothing needs said as we go
We just hold hands and smile
The years have joined us
Love expressed in the wordless
Ever commonplace
It is not that we don’t speak
But that our hearts beat as one

Adults Are Children (Tanka)
Adults are children
On each first day of April
Day of foolishness
Let the fun and games begin
How great to be kids again

Something Gnaws At Me
Something gnaws at me
Shredding the scars of my heart
Left to bleed again
Cleanly cut by razor blades
Love’s left to spill on the floor
Why pain in passion
So much that it breaks the heart
Contradictory
Is not love the greatest joy
As promised from up above
Perhaps I’m fickle
Believing that love is grand
Like in fairytales
If this turns out to be false
Then I am a born victim
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Unconditional (Tanka)
Unconditional
The love shown by man’s best friend
It’s interesting
Maybe we could learn something
From our four-legged partners
