Questioning Neruda

why yellow flowers
        Are so afraid of the wind...?
        And the ripe fruits
        so afraid of slingshots... ?

        why flowers don't
        fear nudity so much and
        why are they handsome
        when naked ?
     
       where is your azimuth,
        here, there or the sky...?
       why is the sun stays this
       so solo... ?

        The moon is a chaperone,
       or is it without company...!?
       Does short rain
        fear storm...?

       There is something most dangerous
       than no flight plane?
       why loneliness doesn't
      search  company for
      not being so alone...?

       why do dreams reach
      its final when we wake up...?

Hello Alaka, oh my goodness, these are questions to ponder. I like the 2nd verse and the last two lines of your poetry. Salute Darlene .
