Bella's Anatomy

If I had a light to look into your 
ears like a doctor, I would see
musical notes in there, and the
sounds of wind in different trees. 

If I could see further
I’d see your brain, where 
there are millions of stars. 
That’s where your words 
and your ideas come from.

A change in plans. Their father came home this evening and collected them. Now I’m quietly looking into the stars in my brain.
