In blissful silence
I sit simply listening,
Breathing in the sounds.
Tell me…how long has it been
Since I relished birds singing,
Crickets in summer,
The first flakes of winter’s snow
Wind rustling leaves.
It has been far, far too long
Since I’ve reached out to nature.
Too busy with life,
I seem to have forgotten
What is beautiful.
Perhaps it’s time to slow down
And take in God’s creation.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
We are hypocrites
Tolerating cruelty…
Sanctioned beheadings
Trading blood for their oil
Meet Saudi Arabia
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fear of the future
A phobia most obscure
Consuming many
∼
Why be afraid of something
That happens by the second
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A man’s convictions
Shown in the eyes of Francis
And through his message
Kindness is not exclusive
It is yours for the giving
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fields of history
Strewn with blood and with corpses
Religions finest
Left to rot in their God’s sun
Could it be no one was right
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
What is my calling
To speak for those that are mute
Injecting logic
In this illogical world
Fighting the way I know how
With pen and paper
The written is the sword
I wield with honor
Far mightier than the tongue
Brandished til the day I die
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
To see me sleeping
You would think I worried not
But you would be wrong
My heart and soul are on fire
For the voiceless of this world
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Hope for our future
Lies not with the warmongers
They have lead us here
Killing is not the answer
It must be the last resort
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Take me as your own
Envelop me with your love
I need nothing else
I was destined to be yours
Since the beginning of time
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
A sensual kiss
The feathery touch of love
On a lover’s hand
Cares evaporate in fire
‘Til there’s nothing left but bliss
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
