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
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.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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,
Heard in your ears when all’s still.
Deny if you must,
But know the Divine’s speaking,
Taunting your soul to listen.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Water’s Symphony
Born to calm the troubled soul
Concerto of God

Destroyer Shiva
Hunts my elusive ego
All to free my soul
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Listen to your heart
Only it can hear your passion
Voracious in its appetite
Even in your parting hour
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Peace, contemplation
Silence of meditation
Nourishing my soul
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
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
Reminder of innocence
I so miss those days
~
Christmas season takes me back
To times less complicated
