The Brick Bridge.

A country lane, silence hangs softly

In the air.

A night wind blows, and with it's ghost like,

Unseen touch, runs gentle fingers

Through your hair.

In the darkness a shadow briefly, catches your eye,

And as you turn, within the shadows...

More shadows fly.

A lamp beneath the low arched bridge

Sends a misty, golden glow.

And across the halo of it's light

You see a darker ebb and flow.

You stand and watch the graceful flight

As the bats emerge, and fly the night.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This bridge was close to my garden, and every night the bats would appear, seemingly out of nowhere. I loved watching them.
