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.

Though This Shell Withers

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

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.

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 ~~
