I Am Water
Another nice poem from member Eric Radcliffe
I am silent, gentle in flowing, caressing, soothing, calming.
I am hard as rock, wild and crashing, reckless in dashing, splashing, cascading
I am the rainbow, the snowflake, ever changing, inspiring, ever free
I am the storm, the spring shower
I am the messenger in christening, the force in nature that helps her grow,
the source of life.
I am the seas the oceans – I swoon to the moon as I ebb and flow
I am the calmness in the veil of the mist
I change storm clouds from black to grey to white, to blue, moving from imperfect to perfect
I am rain- hail- icicles- puddles- streams – seas and rivers, waterfalls too
I am the performer
I am the miracle of life.

Thank so much Fuji. I think this is what makes a person write – it’s knowing that someone somewhere connects to your thoughts through story or rhyme.
Beautiful poem, Eric. Something to pause and reflect on instead of all the sad news around us at the moment. Thank you. It left me with a smile and a lovely positive feeling.

Very lovely poem! It is very calming to read.
Hi Eric – I just listened to your poetry read by Voice club member Pragya Rathore, and I must say she did a great job recording. Her voice really accentuates your wonderful poem above, breathing even more life into this poem. Great work from both of you – keep writing and recording!

Hello Culture Dragon, I had a friend who always said ”Life is full of surprises”. I wasn’t aware that members could read each others poems, so what a big surprise for me, not just the pleasure and joy of hearing it read, but that Pragya Rathore chose it to read. I have never experienced this kind of appreciation where others share their stories, poetry and writings with each other so lovingly. And… Read more »
I cannot say Thank You to Pragya Rathore, as of yet she can not be reached, but if you do see/read this post Pragya ”Thank You”. You have made me so happy – Eric.

The way your words flow throughout the poem- well, I cannot help but compare it to the flawless motion of water. You did a great job with the onomatopoeia in the poem and the words roll right off the tongue, making it a pleasure to read aloud.
I just had this thought Pragya, when you read my poem, I remembered these words – We breathe life into words when written and spoken.
and hearing you read, it just did that. Poems can come to life in the most unusual of ways. Again, thank you.
I very much enjoyed your reading of the this beautiful poem Pragya. You brought Eric’s words to life.

I enjoyed your poem so much! It reminded me of a frosty dawn in Iceland, the night after watching the Northern Lights. The feeling of something clean and crisp was almost palpable…
