"Into Your Light" *

Into Your Light*

Light brings all together as one,

 the unifying element of creation.

                  Into Your Light in acrylic (36" x 48") by the author 2020

It's prayer, it's obedience, to the Creator,

 reminiscent of Plato's allegory**

in search of truth and reality in life 

symbolic for man to follow the story.

The cave is prison or abode, or both,

prison to those afraid to face the world, 

lovely home to a happy family,

a whole community in accord.

Into Your light brings all together as one,

light the unifying element of creation,

harmony in diversity, source of life itself,

the essence of humanity's union. ~

* Into your light is the title of a verse written by Dr Anselmo S Cabigan which inspired the author to write a book Light in the Woods (Megabook1995).  Both were professors at St Paul University QC after they had opted to retire early from  government service.

To wit (last stanza):

Lead me to where I should lead them,

The little ones to my care You'll send,

That they may solve this awesome maze

and burst out bright into Your light. ~

**The allegory of the cave, or Plato's Cave, was presented by the Greek philosopher Plato in his work Republic (514a–520a) to compare "the effect of education and the lack of it on our nature". It is written as a dialogue between Plato's brother Glaucon and his mentor Socrates, narrated by the latter. (Internet)
