To sink or to swim
A choice we make every day
So what will it be

Through Fire and Rain (Haiku)
Through fire and rain
We emerge as better men
We call this thing…life

The passage of time
Only man feels its effects
Because he watches

Imagination
Imagination is…
Inspiration for the painter’s brush,
Muse for the writer’s quill,
Angst for the actor’s role,
Gas for the engine of invention,
Irreverence to the twisted of mind,
Nuance for the singers song,
Ability for those challenged,
Tenacity in the hearts of the weak,
Ingenuity in the hands of the creative,
Omniscience in the eyes of the faithful,
Nobility in the lives of the insignificant,
…And so much more.

Meandering creek
Whispers softly as it flows
Eternal journey

To Feel Young Again (Tanka)
To feel young again
My aches and my pains vanquished
Tireless child
They say it’s a state of mind
My body says otherwise

We Live Life In Fear
We live life in fear
Afraid of the dark, of death
Of what comes after
Why, when we’ve done this before
Many, many times over
We’re born and reborn
Working on our mortal souls
Until we become as one
…With the Divine
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Magic (Tanka)
Magic lives daily
In every breath that I take
It is quite the show
No wand, no cape, no top hat
Required for an applause
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A Life Spent Looking (Tanka)
A life spent looking
How will we know when we’re there
I’m really not sure
We can’t see our destiny
I guess that’s part of the fun
