In the Distance
Through the gathering
gloom
our eyes see
a bat
winging
it its way
through the humid air
life here
is not easy
for the smaller mammals
and its not so easy
for *****sapiens either
we don't have wings
and we can't run with
the speed of a cheetah
As night falls once again
our eyes catch glimpses
of our fellow creatures
the bat will find it's
way home
We'll find our paths, too
A serious silence
grips us
soon we will learn
what our fate shall be
The bat is almost
out of sight now
Just a small
dark object
off in the evening distance
on a summer evening
