This is just brilliant. I use the word "brilliant" all too much but I mean it here. Exceptional? Phenomenal? Bloody awesome? I think they all apply. The metaphor of the first stanza - the explication in the second - the language in the third - I can hardly even articulate it.

If only.

This is such a perfect dream. And you convey the feelings so perfectly.

I love ALL of this. Keep writing!

I love this part: 'This is unlike us, and it doesn’t suit us:/

hesitation. Nobody else gets on at this stop.' and every single second of the second and third stanza! I love the repetition in forms in the last stanza 'no stone unturned, no language unlearnt, no sky untouched'. lovely lovely work. This is really really good! I am really impressed. Will read more of your work...
