Your Voice, Your Words, Your Story
(Thanks to member Eric Radcliffe, who sent us this lovely poem, which beautifully describes the importance of each of our voices. Thank you, Eric!)
We breathe life into words when written and spoken,
they become the expression of our vibration, for they speak of who we are, of the choices made, and of who we wish to be.
You are the sound behind the words that live in laughter and tears from the lessons that made us, taught us, when we faced and overcame our fears.
They become the words of innocence found in children
in their verse and rhyme, for they create, inspire, build the desire to Love all.
And of the words that should have been spoken, written,
but were left asleep, to lay deep, and later on for sorrow to follow.
To find your Pen, your voice, is to make your own space
It is standing up to take your place

Thank You for reading Hridini – but most of all for taking the time to pass on what you thought.
It’s nice to know your words have made a connection.
I love the last line of the poem. It is something I have just learned to do in recent times. Beautiful poem, Eric!

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleThank you for your thoughts on my poem. One of the important parts in writing is to connect with words. That sounds obvious I know, but when someone replies, you come to understand how beautiful words are in so many different ways.
I particularly like this line ‘but were left asleep, to lay deep, and later on for sorrow to follow.’ It really makes you want to put pen to paper before your words are lost in the aether. Thank you for sharing

Your poem really touched me, Eric. The last two lines are so inspiring – years ago I was discouraged from writing poetry by a cruel teacher. Thankfully, I found my pen, my voice and my space and I eventually stood up and took my place!
I’m sorry for not thanking you earlier for taking the time to comment. It’s a pity we are often discouraged from being creative. It’s thought, it is something we should lose when we grow up – but in fact the imagination is an amazing gift that should never be underestimated. I’m happy that they never stifled yours. Thank you for being open Sandra – that way we all learn from each other.

Thank you, Eric!
Hello Christer, how Wonderful to have made the connection to you through words. Without meeting, we know each other and of each other. We do have a responsibility for what we write. That is because we become connected to each other by the words we choose. I am so grateful to the Voice.Club for providing this platform for everyone. And I thank you Christer for taking the time to connect through your… Read more »

Hello Eric, thank you for lifting my spirit. Yes, I will continue because reading and commenting make me free from stress and I am enjoying it here.
Hope your computer will be fixed soon.
Hello Eric, what an inspiring poem you have written. If there was one extract that resonated with me most it was ‘they speak of who we are, of the choices made, and of who we wish to be.’ How very true, our words are ours alone.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleHi again Linda, I tried to share the importance of not just the words we write, but also of the words we speak. They have a vibration Linda, as I’m sure you know. They travel not only outwards, but inwards too, so angry words not only hurt others, but they also damage the person who speaks them. Thank you. I love it when we make the connection, bond through words, and our… Read more »
