Water Of Life Poem by Terence George Craddock
Water Of Life
water flowing
in mountains streams creeks rivers
water trickling
racing to fill ponds lakes oceans
water mist breath allowing
myriad life possibilities
water small droplets sowing
web of life potential diverse forms
without water there would
be no magnificient
earth life lusting swarms
vast planet wide oceans
filling teeming brimming
with species complexities
water vast percentages
of amazing cells
that strata comprise
all living organisms
water sustaining
growth creating
spun life webs
unique ecosystems
food all food
fresh has reserves
of water bound
within water is
our life liquid
requirement most
sustaining nurturing thing
have you not heard
that humans
can go without
food longer
than without
prime life requirement
fresh clean sweet
running water
news flash without
water all life would die
realize without
water we could
not even cry
water an important
part of vibrant
healthy cells
water cool sweet
waits flavours
community wells
water circulates
in myriad plants
to carry distribute
nutrients
water circulates
in people to oxygenate
blood energies
water needed by dependent
earth life cycles
to survive
water
without elixir of life
water earth
will not be alive

An elaborate write on water and its importance. Indeed earth is a water planet that without water there will be no life and no survival of earthlings. Very educative write.Liked
A beautiful poem but its horrible when we face situations like, water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink'.. Top score for this excellent poem.
Sorry that my clumsy finger did not correctly execute the 5-star vote this poem deserves.
I wrote the poem 'Creating Gift Time Memories', inspired by the gift of a clumsy finger comment on my poem 'Water Of Life', by the poet Denis Mair and dedicated to Denis Mair.
I think a love an appreciation of nature and beauty, the joy found in reading any good literature, are their own rewards. All beauty is a gift not often appreciated enough. Best Regards sincerely Terence.

THE TRUTH IS SCREAMING WITHIN YOUR PIECE. WATER IS LIFE. And the greatest ARTIST OF EVERYTHING AND EVERY STEWARD IS THE OMNIPOTENT ONE Thanks for sharing this significant piece.
Yes water is life and life on earth flourishes and in extreme climates survives because of water. When it comes to addressing differing states of water, the poem 'Water Wonder Fills Soul In Shifting Shades', is more beautiful in descriptions of differing states of water.
I wrote the poem 'Water Liquid Life: An Essential Elemental Essence', inspired by my comments on my poems 'Water Of Life' and 'Water Wonder Fills Soul In Shifting Shades', and dedicated to all who love and appreciate the beauty and life sustaining wonder of water.
