That second section: I wanted this story to kind of mix book and movie, and I felt like in the movie, Bert had his own touch of magic, and knew a lot about Mary Poppins. In the second section, I wanted to expand on that idea. So while the first part was about Bert as a young man, falling in love with Mary, and what that resulted in, the second part was about how long they've been together, and how Bert's changed, and gained a sort of magic himself, as a result of it.
I also wanted to convey that while Bert was immortal, thanks to Mary's kiss, he's still an immortal human and he'll never be able to breathe underwater or live in a volcano. Mary Poppins, I think, looks human to humans, but she isn't. I think she looks to other creatures the way they look - so, for example, when she lives under the sea, she looks like a creature of the sea.
This was an idea I got from the books, when all sorts of people (animals, fish, stars, etc) know Mary Poppins. I got the idea of him speaking to the wind, or sending messages with animals from both the books and movies - the wind, of course, is always a big thing with Mary Poppins.
