What's That

What’s That

I swoop, I dive, I flutter in the rafters.

My eyes can’t see, I grace the night sky, I am wise.

Wild, willing, wings, dark as black coal.

To look at me with wings unfolded, an awful sight.

But at night I soar with gods and angels and things.

In life game I am at bat, I am a Bat.

Thank for exploring my poems. Was afraid of something like bats in attic in old house in upper state New York as a child. Peace, Love and Joy
