Good afternoon Nate,
I enjoyed the repetition here, I think it creates a natural place for the reader to have relative points where they can establish relationships from their experiences.
At the urging of your final stanza, and in observance to the establishing of my relational understanding of your words, I did some math:
- 1,000,000 seconds = ~17 minutes
average breaths per minute = ~16 breaths
- 1,000,000 breaths = ~1.4 months
average dreams per night = ~4
- 1,000,000 dreams = ~685 years
all relative to human averages, which means lots of room for variation, but cool to see the scale and relate it to your message, that a million isn't a defining number, it's your passion that makes it real.
