A fruit bat's ode to the night
The night is....
Peaceful....Tranquil...
I pirouette under the moon
The bullfrogs sing ...
the crickets croon...
The night she speaks as a dance
A timeless embrace a blissful romance
A sweet soiree
A raspberry yogurt parfait
A far better thing than the fury of Day
Ever do my little feet pitter patter
Skip gallop and run
I am free and nothing matters
I wish I could turn off the sun
I feel full of flight
Effortless light
Wings with fur not feathers
The world is my playground
I am a tiny bat
Now and forever
I bathe in dew to beat the heat
I hang by my tiny feet
I seek a food that is ethical and kind
I've got berries on my mind
Nature's candy grows on trees
As sweet sands waft from saltwater taffy seas
I dance, I drift, I do ballet
Spirits uplift until the day
When I return to my little cave by the sea
And snuggle with my colony
A tiny bat will I always be
And that's okay, okay for me
