Mysteries abound
Simply look out your window
And see the wonders

Mysteries abound
Simply look out your window
And see the wonders
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Sleep amongst the stars
Lover’s eyes gaze upon you
What awaits beyond
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Magic lives daily
In every breath that I take
It is quite the show
No wand, no cape, no top hat
Required for an applause
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Blinded by the sun
Heaven showing it’s glory
To lesser beings
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Beauty in all things
Is what I see through these eyes
Window with a view
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
By judging others
We miss the miniscule spark
Genius in the flesh

Much needed rain
Though drought it does not ease.
Standing outside gazing,
Looking skyward, thankful.
River and road become one before us
As cool muddy water rushes
To where no one knows.
We know this will not last–
Blistering heat will return to scorch our soles,
But it does not deter from this pleasantry.
Residents of desert and dwelling
Pleasure in this temporary reprieve.
Flowers dormant burst from their rocky tombs.
Living only days–
They know they are numbered
Falling prey to the vacationing solstice.
Withering to dust–
They return to the earth from whence they came.
This cycle they know oh so well.
Like the waters, all things recede
Back to the source of their creation
In hopes of reemerging one day
To grace the earth with their wondrous presence.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Birth is all around us;
In everything,
Every blade of grass,
Chirp of baby birds newly hatched,
Tiny flowers submitting to their nature to be fruit,
The covey of quail scurrying single file,
Rise of the sun upon a new day,
Winter welcoming the spring,
Barren branches bursting with cool green leaves,
April rains coaxing wildflowers from nothing,
Parks full of strollers and carriages,
Toddlers laughter filling the air,
Earth and sky warming.
Birth is all around us,
In everything,
Wondrous!

Newness of the world
Simple things eyed with wonder
Childs innocence

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Storm clouds part to blue
Grass blades glisten emerald green
As golden sun sets
Casting a heavenly glow
All is right with the world
