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:

Peace to you! Uncle Tree
Amen .. Amen … AMEN …. AMEN
Love, love, love this one!! and the One you speak of! Beautifully done and I love your word placement, very creative indeed. Blessings to you and yours for a Merry Christmas! Terri
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
John

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. 🙂
Thank you! 🙂 Nice to meet you, too!
Do have yourself a merry Christmas now!
May you indeed see the Holy Light!
Peace and Joy this Christmas.
Bonnie
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!
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! 🙂
Marvelous words, Uncle Tree… and a beautiful layout as well!
Thank you kindly, good sir! 🙂
I wish you a marvelous Christmas!
Peace, and best wishes, too! Uncle Tree
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,
ed
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!
Amen Brother
Thank you for visiting, kind sir! 🙂
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas to you!
‘Tis a day for rejoicing and receiving
the greatest gift mankind will ever know!
For once we have the key, an abundant life is ours,
and we 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.
Uncle Tree
Speaking of keys… 🙂

Marvelous! I have chosen the way of truth and light. Therefore, I will let my light shine before men, that they may see my good deeds and praise my Father in heaven. Thanks Uncle Tree for sharing that wonderful post. God bless.

🙂 Thank you, Ms. Witty! And you are certainly welcome!
I hope 2012 brings you great things, and much to love. 🙂
Poise happens – when one loses their balance and falls, whilst retaining their dignity all the way down, from the roof to the ground, and making snow-angels thereafter, where they lie with nary a cry, nor wince of pain.
