Below are eight more poems by Dermot O Brien.

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

1.

The thoughts in spring-time
behind closed eyes   daffodils
come bugling to mind

  

2.

Walking the foot-path
suddenly across the green
cherry trees in bloom

3.

A sky that's unique
never again will evening pass
sun-light thro' these flowers

  

4.

The hue of the clouds
this evening in spring   is
the passing of Christ

5.

Water from a fall
the notes of a concerto
the evening's close

  

6.

The ripple of notes
running to a climax   soul
the master of life

7.

After a struggle
the run of the notes   at play
on a soft pedal

  

8.

The image of all
in Him who made all   the face
of the Son of Man
