Sultry Vignette II

As bright stars twinkle in the night's sky like diamonds on black velvet, a dying campfire invites nocturnal shadows to the tree-enveloped clearing. Warmth emanates from the bits of twig and branch already turned to charcoal and embers crackle as their sparks drift upward, dancing like fireflies into the crisp air. The pale indigo moon beams softly as the wind gently rustles the treetops to and fro in an autumnal foliaged symphony.

Animal instinct, what which is wild and savage, penetrates the soul, conquering all that is learned and civilized. Adrenaline pumps vigorously through veins, sends the heart racing and makes breath hastened and shallow. Two beings in heated entanglement as Primal Instinct vs. Knowledge in a fierce struggle for dominance. Instinctual nature rages forth, while the learned behavior endeavors to maintain its composure. Each gives into the other unselfishly yet reluctantly, resulting in a delicate state of body and mind, meant to be shared, indulged and cherished - nature in its purest essence.
