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 ~~
The Angel of Death
With us at our time of birth
Decides when we leave
This is not man’s decision
Unless there’s no God above
Perhaps there isn’t
Perhaps we aren’t watched over
And we are alone
How very sad that would be
If Heaven was pure fiction
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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 ~~
A hummingbird’s wings
Fast as the fleeting moment
Never to return
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Do we expect the Divine to give without us giving back?
Do we expect to receive all the good this world has to offer without offering it back?
Life is not a one way street of take, take, take.
We are here to give unto others with no expectation of repayment.
This is what living is all about.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
What’s my lineage
Whose blood courses through my veins
It’s not important
In the end I am human
And that is all that matters
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Synergy of souls
Joined in spiritual quest
For life after death
Since the beginning of time
We have been seeking Heaven
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Deeply I reach into the inner well
In search of peace and love.
Picking it up from where it fell
I push it back up with a shove.
Caught up in emotion of circumstance,
Surrounded by sadness and gloom.
Needing to take a more positive stance
Away from feelings of impending doom.
Emotions running far too high,
My health will be paying the price.
If I don’t allow my anxiety to fly
The outcome won’t be so nice.
So time, it has come to put anger away and connect with the spiritual me,
Hoping this time it will come home to stay and at last I’ll be finally free.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Look at our future.
Will it be one of terror
Frightening our young
Or will it be one of hope.
Shouldn’t it be obvious?
I question mankind,
So very illogical
In his foolish ways.
Repeating failed history
With the very same results.
So lets march our way
On this road to destruction
Like the sheep we are;
Believing all that we hear
Into the fateful abyss.
