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 sunlight at play
on the sea in the distance
barely thro' the clouds

  

2.

Silently it's there
the magnolia in blossom
as evening falls

3.

Looked at for a while
the magnolia stirred slightly
in the evening breeze

  

4.

Breeze ruffled feathers
a cygnet on the canal
explores its birth-place

5.

The sun at the heart
of a crystal owl   green
early in Spring-time

  

6.

Huge cumulus clouds
spread out by the wind   sailing
the nonchalance of spring

7.

In a glow of light
Jesus on Mt Tabor reveals
his nature is divine

  

8.

Avenues of lights
converging in the distance
bright at heaven's door

9.

A funeral mass
to commemorate a woman
love left in her wake

  

10.

Her descendants read
poems for their mother   already
enthroned in heaven

11.

A delight in life
gratitude to God   in death
is consummated

  

12.

Outside the window
it is Spring again   playful
as a child the wind
