Like the bat, our looks or demeanour sometimes leave us feeling misjudged and alone.

****************************************

Bat--

Grotesque,

A fleeting form,

Scoffed by the judging eye,

Its firm, dark wings enshroud the night

Ghostly--

The guardian hunts for darkened plague

Watcher of moonlit skies

Unsung, unseen

Itself.
