      against the night

life is a nebulous mist
in the fleeting twilight,
passing forever into
unimaginable time.

love is a lightning flash
in the thunderous wind,
etched for a moment
against the cavernous night.

Beautiful in its melancholy, dear Bruce.

I do think that love is more than a "lightning flash", but it's our awareness of it that matches this definition.

Love,
Margherita

In the space time continum love is as fleeting as the flicker of a distant star, thats why we must cherrish love when it does come to us, a poem of truth very well imparted..thank you for sharing this with all at the blue pages Bruce.

I always liked the word nebulous.
Love and lightning..both can terrify as well as excite.

Love is like a shooting star across the night sky, like a flash, a very bright flash that lights up your heart, your path,
it is a jolt, that breaks the silence, awakens, stirs, the senses, but yet very fragile, one of the best treasures in life, value it when you have it, for in a flash, it could be gone~

Bruce,

You live nature and frame it around the thoughts in your poetry.  Does that sound trite?  It's as if you inhale the natural beauty around you.

But, oh, what a glorious flash of lightening love can be ~ Even if only "etched for a moment".

I love Nature and I love Love! ~ and I love how you have 'naturally' combined the two in this fine write!

Yo Secondhanddreampoet,

Life is a constant battle against the darkness of the night.

yes ... (sadly) it is !

[I used to believe that 'poetry' was one of
  the finest, shining 'weapons' in that 'battle'!]
