There is something about the wilderness....

There is something about the wilderness....
....at night
 feel like a sunken ship
 freely confined in darkness
charmed, seduced, and scared of the unknown
croaking and chirping frogs
 deep hooting owls
the cry of the coyote
the breathlessness of the moment
There is something in the the movement of the moon
 the glow
 demon eyes lurking about
a growl and hiss of quarrelling cats
the ridiculous safety of your nylon tent and the broken zipper
 thrilling anxious exciting adrenaline rush
there is something about the wilderness...
....at night
