To believe or not
Is a question of one’s faith
As it’s always been.
We can never know for sure
Until we leave this body,
Whether their is more
Or if this is all there is.
So…what will it be?

Synergy of souls
Joined in spiritual quest
For life after death
Since the beginning of time
We have been seeking Heaven
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Faces of those passed
I remember vividly
As if they’re still here
Is this our eternal life
To live on in memory
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
It occurred to me today–
Prompted by a voice,
Not in my head,
No, it came from a voice on the radio.
I’ve heard this voice a hundred times,
Heard the same questions,
Heard the same answer,
But today–
Today of all days I actually listened.
What is life?
What is living?
That’s when the light finally turned on.
It’s the glorious journey of learning how to die.
We do it daily,
We do it with every breath.
We look to our religions,
Our Gods, our souls for the answer.
Why?
In the desire to leave this world in peace
With dignity,
With the hope for something after,
Something more than this temporary existence.
And why shouldn’t we?
Are we not returning to our beginning,
To the earth,
To the air,
To the heavens,
As we have been blessed to do.

Since I really enjoy writing in the haiku and tanka forms I decided to write one haiku and two tankas for the Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Heeding Haiku With HA: To Egyptian Mythology Prompt.
~
Anubis (Tanka)
Souls in transition
Under sacred watchful eyes
Do not be afraid
Anubis is guiding you
Into life everlasting
~
Anubis (Haiku)
Fear not the jackal
He is not what he appears
Anubis protects
~
Bastet (Tanka)
Do not fear your death
Bastet protects as armor
Securing your life
You shall not be defeated
By your mortal enemies
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
As dusk settles in
We bid farewell to the day
Ushering in night
Not so unlike that of man
Drifting from life into death
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Sky–clear glass ceiling
One can almost see heaven
Clean and bright above
Passing from life into death
Could this be what it looks like
~
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
My spirits journey
Visited ad nauseum
Questions no answers
Unresolved for a lifetime
A mystery ‘til the end
~
