Quiet at sunrise
Daybreak’s very first moment
Peaceful as it gets

Close Your Tired Eyes
Close your tired eyes
Quiet your exhausted mind
A surprise awaits
He has been there all along
Since the very day of birth
Too busy to see
He sat back and simply watched
Waiting for the time
Now in your silence he speaks
Hello my child…I Am God
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Closed Eyes, I Breathe Deep
Closed eyes, I breathe deep
Exhaling luscious silence
Emptying my mind
Stress of the day fades away
I’m left relaxed and at peace
Is this not heaven
This place buried deep within
That no one can steal
Even this succinct moment
Can resurrect from the gloom

Sit Still And Quiet
Sit still and quiet
Breathe in its luscious silence
Feel it embrace you
Tell me, what does it whisper
Without so much as a word.
Perhaps love is it,
Love for yourself and others.
What you always knew.
Stifled by chaotic noise–
It has finally been freed.
Let it swaddle you!
Do not keep it trapped inside.
It is meant to give;
Not with great expectations,
But with the purest of hearts.

Do You Fear Silence
Do you fear silence?
Does the absence of voice scare you?
Do you hide behind white noise?
Do you seek shelter in the arms of music?
Do you try to drown it out with television?
What are you afraid of?
Is it that perhaps your inner voice might speak,
That the Divine might make its presence known,
That you might see into the darkest recesses of your soul
Or is it that you might come to realize that there is more out there
Than what our mortal senses reveal.
There is nothing to fear dear one;
Embrace the quiet,
Look within for the answers you seek,
Call upon the Divine for guidance,
Wrap yourself in peace and love
And know that in silence
…There is wisdom.

Deeply I Reach Into The Inner Well (Sonnet)
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.

Absent Though Not Gone
Absent though not gone
A temporary reprieve
Enjoy my silence
Though unlikely to last long
I’ll be back with a vengeance
Time for regrouping
Collecting all of my thoughts
A tidy bundle
Set to explode on the page
For the world at large to see
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Lost Amongst Chaos
Lost amongst chaos
Something had to change quickly
To keep sanity
In the quiet dark I sat
Alone with only my thoughts
Finally peace knocked
Begging me to let her in
A most welcome friend
Come home to roost for a time
I just hope she plans to stay
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Retreat – A Tanka
Blocking out the world
Retreating into my mind
Hoping for quiet
Pulling back from the chaos
So hectic and destructive

End Of Day – A Tanka
End of day quiet
As sunset breezes relieve
Easing tired mind
The joy of dark solitude
Readies me for a new start
