Saplings bend in wind
Because they must to survive
Man could learn from trees

Happiness (Acrostic)
Has there not been enough killing, enough hate
All centered around religious faith?
Perhaps kindness and love would be a better solution;
Plying our ingenuity to the pursuits of peace and joy
Instead of weapons of human destruction.
Never has there been such a proliferation!
Ever more I believe the right path is unfettered love,
Something we are born with, but many of us lose through cynicism.
Strive to regain it and you may witness the rebirth of childlike joy.

Visions In My Mind (Tanka)
Visions in my mind
Vivid as day though eyes closed
Finally at peace
In silence I’m transported
Through joyful meditation

Celestial Peace
Celestial peace
Seeps into this earthly soul
A slice of heaven
Perhaps this mortal being
Is a piece of the Divine
Not just in image
But a spark of God itself
If only we’d see

Under Cloud Soaked Skies (Haiku)
Under cloud soaked skies
An aimless wanderer strolls
At peace with the world
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Center Has Been Lost
Center has been lost
Chakras not finding balance
Emotions rampant
I seek answers from within
In council with the Divine
I believe The Way
I can feel it in my soul
Though at times muddled
Living in Light and in Love
Brings life into perspective

The Angel of Death
The Angel of Death
With us at our time of birth
Decides when we leave
This is not man’s decision
Unless there’s no God above
Perhaps there isn’t
Perhaps we aren’t watched over
And we are alone
How very sad that would be
If Heaven was pure fiction
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Is Pain A Trial
Is pain a trial
Testing the mortal resolve
Of mind and body
This vessel is of the world
While we’re beings of spirit
We must rise above
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Do We Expect
Do we expect the Divine to give without us giving back?
Do we expect to receive all the good this world has to offer without offering it back?
Life is not a one way street of take, take, take.
We are here to give unto others with no expectation of repayment.
This is what living is all about.

Give From A Full Heart (Senryu)
Give from a full heart
As if life depends on it
Because it just might
