Below are twelve more poems by Dermot O Brien.

From the collection
The Light of the World:
A Micro Poetic Way To God

1.

The sun emerging
changing the aspect of things
the green of the grass

  

2.

Twenty-five in pink
a recently branded lamb
strolling in the field

3.

Another Spring-time
across the green fields  lambs
follow their mothers

  

4.

Aquiver with life
a lamb skips towards its mother
the dugs full of milk

5.

Coming to the well
a woman surprised by Christ
being so addressed

  

6.

Beyond the normal
her ordinary life changed
with Christ at noon-day

7.

She drops everything
in her hurry to get to town
with the news of God

  

8.

A woman transformed
the goal of all her searching
found at last in Christ

9.

Who was a shepherd
willing to die for his sheep
all his words made good

  

10.

On Calvary once
the offer of love   Christ made
for all mankind

11.

Where there was no love
the Prince of love came to die
that love should revive

  

12.

As in this spring-time
after the death of winter  bulbs
shoot again from the ground
