The Way
is the way
of truth and light.
May I know The Truth
when I hear it ring. May I see
Thy Holy Light right in front of my face.
May I make a righteous choice
at every curious crossroad.
May I choose the road
chosen by someone
smarter than me
by God!

seeking the righteous path is in itself a righteous thing to do.
and i want to know what a poem with this structure called?
like the no. of words increases gradually. : 1-2-3-4-5-6…

Hello there, Jayanth!
Nice to meet you!
This structure? I simply call it Ornamental.
Sometimes I like to play with the presentation itself.
“Putting music to words, and words to pictures” – my motto.
Once in awhile the phrases lend themselves to objectivity.
For another prime example – see my top post of all time:

Wow, no need to add more to that Uncle Tree, you have said all that needs to be said – any more would just have been decoration.
You have been blessed with a wonderful ability to form pictures from words, and not just literally.
Regards

What a delight! I know what you mean about some poems lending themselves to the visual form. I love it when that happens.
Merry Christmas, Uncle Tree! Glad to meet you.
December 23, 2011 at 6:53 am

Nice to meet you, too!
Do have yourself a merry Christmas now!

Always good to see you, Bonnie!
Thank you for the wishes!
May peace, love and joy invade your home this very Christmas!

This is beautiful. Such an inspirational post to read, but also prayer to say. The “ornamental” style is excellent as well, especially coupled with your picture of the Star of Bethlehem. (Incidentally, I was recently read The Art of English Poesy by George Puttenham which discusses all the forms of poetry as experts learned them in Shakespeare’s day, and shaping the poem according to its subject was a popular style back then, they had circles, diamond, ovals, everything, so you’re in good company!) All in all, nice job, and Merry Christmas!
December 24, 2011 at 3:24 am
How sweet of you to say that, Susan.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much!
Eye-catching, heart-warming and mind-boggling
is poetry at its best. Throw in an interesting title,
and you’re good to go – with God, world-wide.
Do have yourself a grand and glorious Christmas!

By God, we are wonderfully made, Keith!
With God we shall make Light work.
By this, your inspired prayer,
We shall surely find the Way.
May your buds be all a-tingle at the thought of Spring.
Love,

Spoken like the true gentle-man that you are.
And your words certainly ring true, dear friend.
May you always walk in the Light
with your head held high in honor.
My buds are a-tinglin’ alright.
Have a Merry Christmas, Ed!

‘Tis a day for rejoicing
and receiving the greatest gift
mankind will ever know!
For once we have that key, an abundant life is ours,
and we will no longer need to knock before entering.
Open up for Christmas, and Christ will stand up for you.
Hanging with The Prince Of Peace, I am.

Poise happens – when one loses their balance and falls, whilst retaining their dignity all the way down, and making snow-angels thereafter where they lie with nary a cry, nor wince of pain.

Good to see you, Bonnie dear!

Glad we made it through the year

I’ll continue to hope for the better.
