Bathed in Light

Mike Doherty's poem, "Bathed in Light," was originally published in Short Edition’s September '19 Rendez-Vous. Mike is a retired Mental Health Nurse with 50% Gaelic blood. Words and the power of meanings behind them have been his life and love. Free time leads him to Poetry late in life.

I dropped anice cube intothe seawhich sort of replied as if tosay you haven't made much impressionon meSoI threw a twiginto a wood andthought to myselfthat will changethings around,yet it still lookedthe same,  couldn't even hear a sound SoI climbed a high hilland shouted real loud at the worldto stop, but it justkept turning round and roundand turning the sunon and offand then alittle loving kisson the sweet neckof my loverlit up a warmlight and we were bathed in it.
