cannot vanquish absolute
seek the light of truth
the pitch black of ignorance
wisdom is the light
of wisdom
burning in the pitch black
of ignorance
casts its glow far-reaching

Hi! I’m Edgrrr, rob’s shih tzu.
powerful and so profound, love it!
Thank you Kate, I am pleased this resonated for you…!
One would think that light would help to obliterate ignorance or perhaps ignorant people sleep too much!
Maybe they need to sleep more Rob, and not cause so much trouble…
“Wisdom is the light” for sure, and the world has much need of it. These are beautiful, Rob.
Thank you Sherry! I only wish poetry could change this mess… 🙁
‘Wisdom is the light’….no doubt about it. Nicely contrasted with darkness of ignorance.
Thank you Sumana!
I like to think that the light of wisdom will reach everyone, but sadly there are some who cling to the ‘pitch black of ignorance’. Well put, Rob.
Thank you Kim… I sadly feel the light of wisdom grows dimmer each day in this world, being snuffed by the howling gales of greed and hate – thus, the darkness expands daily.
hummmm….the “light of wisdom,” perhaps that is something we all seek? I liked your poem.
Thank you Annell! I wish that was true, but I look at the horror in this country, and I see no evidence of people being drawn to the light of wisdom. Ignorance seems to be running rampant! This next Presidential election period will be the litmus. If we don’t oust this asshat in the white house, and send some of these devolving asswipe congressmen packing – then the darkness will grow more and more.
I like the images as the Light reinforces the power of wisdom.
Thank you Susan!
May it be so!
Yes, most definitely Rosemary.
