Snow covered meadow,
Footprints,
Invisible animals
The only signs of life.
How peaceful is winter’s blanket
From behind frosted window pane.
Harshness tempered by modernity
Heat, Wisp of steam
Floral scent of herbal tea filling the air.
Thankful to be witnessing
Beauty and cruelty,
From the comfort of home.

A walk in the sun
Beams raining down from Heaven
The promise of spring
~~ Dominic R DiFrancesco ~~
Clouds hang low and dark
Masking our sacred mountains
Native spirits play
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Crackle of winter
Frost covered grass falls to fate
It happens yearly
Then spring consummates marriage
And nature’s children are born
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Song birds on a wire
Precariously they sit
The true test of fate
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fall in the desert
The most beautiful season
Warm and inviting
Oppressiveness gone for now
Knowing that it shall return
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Mountains touching sky
Mother Earth breathes in the rain
Moon bows to the sun
All symbols of God’s beauty
If we took time to notice
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Mysteries abound
Simply look out your window
And see the wonders
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
In blissful silence
I sit simply listening,
Breathing in the sounds.
Tell me…how long has it been
Since I relished birds singing,
Crickets in summer,
The first flakes of winter’s snow
Wind rustling leaves.
It has been far, far too long
Since I’ve reached out to nature.
Too busy with life,
I seem to have forgotten
What is beautiful.
Perhaps it’s time to slow down
And take in God’s creation.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Last glint of sunlight
Bows to the consuming night
Two lovers embrace
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
