It's interesting, though, because the inward turn is there in the second stanza, the closed eyes, the head down. And then that wistfulness at the end...a kind of marveling wonder, but one that hints maybe at doubt.

I like it when poems ends in questions because it is an interesting way to invite the reader into this dialogue with the speaker. Thank you for sharing this. And I enjoyed your parrot cameo, Boris!
