Ian Payne Payne Poems

Oh thou golden orb of glory
Shedding light on those around
Pushing up through stone and tarmac
Rising out of unfertile ground
...

It is days like this
which bring to mind
days long past
Of times more beautiful and innocent,
...

I dreamed a dream and in this dream I saw
Myself on the sands of time and beside me the Lord
The Lord smiled on me as a father would a son
And offered me a time to live in, a time besides this one
...
