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 ~~
Give from a full heart
As if life depends on it
Because it just might
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Giving of the heart
Leaves one’s self vulnerable
There’s no greater thrill

I, of spirit walk
With others on this journey
Each with their troubles
Their torment is also mine
For life is not a vacuum
~~ 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.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
The ghostly killer
Whose silent voyage complete
Rests within our shores
The price paid for our freedom
The cost of humanity
Testing fortitude
Will we practice what we preach
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Roses thorn–savage call,
Reminds how fragile thy love.
Thy bloodless drop of tears they fall,
Tainting thy ivory dove.
In sorrow, my sorrow I beg repent,
Thy pain hast no place in my heart.
I pray to God relief be sent,
Promise never again to take part.
On bended knee I pray thou forgive,
I never meant to perpetrate such pain.
Promise do I for as long as I live,
Or be damned to eternity of shame.
Dearest Rose, beautiful Rose, my thorns I know I must quell.
Revealing my heart to thee who must know, or forever be banished to hell.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
I’d forgotten the serenity of the vicious sea;
Her frothy mane as it spreads itself upon the shore
Gracefully stroking me, drawing me into her loving embrace.
To touch her, to feel her supple skin beneath my hands;
Soft yet strong as it glides effortlessly away from the shore,
I am captivated by her beauty.
The shimmer of her eyes blinds both sun and moon,
They are no match for her diamond soul,
Nor am I as she swallows the sun as it sets.
In dark of night I can hear her calling across her sandy expanse
The path of the moon dancing from wave to wave
Revealing how miniscule I am under heaven
Just as the grain of sand swept from shore.
I smile as if one with the earth and sea
Flowing effortlessly from here to there.
O’ how I had forgotten how beautiful the sea,
How beautiful the soul,
How beautiful and how temporary this life;
Until she reminded me of what I am.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Breathing heavily
Heartbeat rapid–heart attack
The symptoms of love
