Speculation

by Ann Mills

If eyes are the mirror
of the soul,
Then what are the ears?

Ears are the instruments
Into which a person softly whispers,
"I love you."

08/21/1989

Author's Note: Just one of my more mundane epiphanies. My daughter was a couple months old at the time.

As I thought of your baby and ears it occurred to me that her ears enabled you to hear your whispers and yours made it possible to be awakened at 3 a.m. to SHOW her your love. Very evocative poem, Ann.
