that’s just about the most magical thing i’ve heard or read today and many days …the voice on our shoulder singing to us to wander around. That’s how I interpret the lines anyway. The last three lines are like feeling infinity for the first time, thinking “how is that possible?”
Thanks Steve!! Yes, it’s that voice urging us to wander around. I’m really glad you liked the ending. That feeling of infinity…that’s really wonderful of you to say.
Like a cricket with a couplet for wings is going to stay in my head forever now. imagery 10/10.
