Around The Camp Fire

________________________________________________________

Beauty comes down effortlessly, fire glows higher.
The flames flicker and dance as they illuminate the dark.
Bright fingers of crimson and gold, reaching skyward,
Now and then embers would escape with a loud spark.

Lingering moments nestle on paused quiet respite.
Amidst the smoky scent of our cozy campfire. 
The overwhelming aroma of our campfire is quite surreal. 
Familiar sensations waft into an aromatic spire.


Questing  reprisal  still  the  undergrowth  vanquished ways.  
The fragrances so inviting, mixed with earthy sprays.
As the breeze diminishes so our campfires warmth we feel.
The eucalyptus enhances a perfume, in a smoky haze.

Jacaranda   kindling  lingers, memories now  over  prone.
The spellbinding flames flicker, casting shadows of their own.
As the dark velvet night closes in, our fire glistens in tone.
It’s all made more spectacular by our campfire’s cologne.
