writer. maker.
We go to ballet,
and there she quickly changes
into her tutu,
picks up a star and dances around.
They go on a magic carpet ride
to the beach,
they make a castle
and smash it down.
She comes alive,
skipping around this room.
There is magic in the lonely sound of this piano.
It mesmerises them
as they each wiggle
their ten fingers.
