Frosted window panes
Stand between me and the cold
Winter wonderland

Frosted window panes
Stand between me and the cold
Winter wonderland
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Wilting foliage
Struggling to cling to life
Springtime in the wings
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Dawn calls upon me
Her robes, red, orange, blue–calming
Life’s resurrection
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fingers of Winter
Tearing at natures chilled flesh
Black flies meet their fate
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Respect for the earth
Our resources limited
Profit is the king
Nature loses to business
When money does the talking

Lazy Saturday
Basking in the southwest sun
Winter put on hold
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Inspiration found
Within every living thing
Nature’s perfection
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Grand Canyon winter
Buttes caped in the whitest robes
Pure and unspoiled
A picture perfect postcard
Painted by the Master’s hand
≈
A beautiful sight
Burnished under an endless sky
Her majesty unchallenged
She harbors life in this cold
Though her shores appear barren
≈
Deer, eagle, rabbit
All survive her harsh winter
As done for eons
Wondrous in their fortitude
Man has yet to ruin them
≈
Protected from harm
One of the seven wonders
She most surely is
May this always be so
For generations to come

Strokes, blue, red, orange
Drawn in glorious pastels
Brilliant morning sky
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Tiniest cricket
Seeks refuge from the storm
Symphony indoors
