**Unveiling Nature’s Symphony: The Mesmerizing Journey Through Roy Pullam’s “Raindrops”**
The poetry that captures the essence of life often reveals the most about our own struggles, thoughts, and emotions. What is it about a raindrop, so full of potential for renewal and destruction, that makes it such a perfect subject for poets? Here, we embark on a musing journey with this captivating, contradictory element, as the poet’s contemplation tumbles from questioning origins to the impact of conformity. Let’s delve deep into this paradox of nature, a muse that seems to defy both blessings and curses!
I do not understand
A raindrop
Its chemistry so precise
Though unique
Yet it has the conformity
Of millions
Kindred element combinations
What coaxes it
From the clouds
The subject of prayers
Both before and after
First reluctant
Then with a rush
Becoming a flood
I can’t fathom
How it can help
So much
Then turn in rage
Carrying hopes and ambitions
Downstream
It is the nature
Of water
To be
A blessing and a bane
To defy both
My beseeching
And my curse
