Where does the river meet the ocean?
Where is it that they become one?
When do the atmosphere and the oxygen I breathe separate, or when do they not interfere?
Does the sunflower kiss the sun first, or does the sun initiate their connection?
Does my time come mean that I get to choose? Since it is my time?
Will our hands meet before our lips?
Will you recall the sound of my voice with good cheer, or will you only hear what you want to hear?
Does the wind lead the dance, or is it the trees?
Do the rocks know their own strength?
Does the legend know they're a legend when their hero's journey begins?

Authors Note
I am a lover of poetry. I love that it can make a dance and form words the way a potter can make pottery. One of my biggest inspirations is Pablo Neruda, the legendary Chilean who has the title Chile's National Poet.
He wrote a book called The Book of Questions. It is one of the cosiest books of poetry to take to a park, sit under a tree and breathe in fresh air. Thankfully this book is in English as not all of his work has been translated and you can even find a bilingual copy if you Google it.

Your questions were incredibly profound! My favourite one was the sunflower one! I wouldn't say they inspire me but I really like reading Lang Leav's and Samira Vivette's poetry!
I loove Pablo Neruda, and this is a beautiful tribute/poem 👏🏼
