I feel like I should read this a few more times before posting, but given the mess my apartment is in right now, that's not going to happen.
So am I totally off-base or is Sam the sea and Dean the sky? Because this line - The sky held the sea, and the land held them both, and they were the world. - gave rise to that suspicion and these lines - The sky stayed in place, always. Where it met the sea, it shaped it. Sometimes gently, sometimes not. They slapped and roughed and pushed, and were better for it. They whispered, and were better for that, too. - pushed it further. And the image of four-year-old Dean climbing into his brother's crib and becoming all that Sammy could see, sheltering him, really works with your imagery.
