Yeah. But isn’t that the point? You need to be comfortable with horizons being ‘non earthly’ if you would like to venture into the poetic world that the original post implies.
OK, I see your point. Post #5 explains better what I hope to accomplish with the metaphor. It's not just a one-off; it's a scaffold upon which to build out the story's symbolism. It might even be a subplot to act as a foil to the main plot (the main plot being too cerebral to "show don't tell").

Jiminy Cricket was a metaphor - a physical embodiment of Pinocchio's conscience, whispering in his ear throughout the story, guiding him and informing him, and, importantly, giving a voice to elements of the story and its moral message that are not visually demonstrable.
