Killing with kindness

Not the preference of some

Bombs are more deadly

~

Why promote diplomacy

When weapons of war exist

We Look Up To Saints

We look up to saints

Ordained many years ago

For intercession.

Still there are saints among us

If we take the time to look.

Living and breathing

Flesh and blood men and woman

Never canonized,

Yet they are just as special…

Instilled with both love and light.

Whispers In The Wind

Whispers in the wind

Sounds of God all around you

In utter silence

Turning your deaf ear forward

Will reap glorious rewards

 

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

Sacred Sound of Om

Sacred sound of Om,

Heard in your ears when all’s still.

Deny if you must,

But know the Divine’s speaking,

Taunting your soul to listen.

Water’s Symphony

Water’s Symphony

Born to calm the troubled soul

Concerto of God

Destroyer Shiva

Hunts my elusive ego

All to free my soul

Love

Listen to your heart

Only it can hear your passion

Voracious in its appetite

Even in your parting hour

Peace, contemplation

Silence of meditation

Nourishing my soul

Snow Covered Meadow

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.

Smiles of Children

Smiles of children

Reminder of innocence

I so miss those days

~

Christmas season takes me back

To times less complicated
