Heavenly sun wanes,
Applauded by dusk’s silence…
Ovation of gods!
Cherished by the lowliest,
Taken for granted by man.
~
Without any thought,
We reap her fruitful bounty
With veracity.
~
An ungrateful child
Would offer her greater thanks…
Yet we laud her not.
Perhaps it’s human nature
Or maybe we’re simply fools.

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.

A walk in the sun
Beams raining down from Heaven
The promise of spring
~~ Dominic R DiFrancesco ~~
Joy and glad tidings
Hallmarks of this gleeful time
Lost by so many
Those without means, abandoned
Are left to suffer alone
No tree, gifts or warmth
Is afforded to these souls
They’re invisible
Perhaps the Christmas spirit
Was meant as a reminder
That giving is more
Than gifts to friends and family
It’s to all mankind
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Fall in the desert
The most beautiful season
Warm and inviting
Oppressiveness gone for now
Knowing that it shall return
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Lush green against blue
Dormant maple springs to life
Birth of the season

Coo of morning dove
Announces entrance of dawn
Gecko’s welcome warmth
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Tiniest cricket
Seeks refuge from the storm
Symphony indoors
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
In mornings quiet
Nighttime chill bows to the sun
~ Dawn of a new day
