You whisper in my ear
I laugh startling the birds

children skipping around us
but we are lost in each other

These are wonderful responses — so many emotions. The first one brought a smile 🙂

I agree with Jen – you’ve created three really different scenarios and moods in just two lines. My favourite is the first one though – probably because it’s closest to my own experience. My children never skip on a woodland walk – they grumph and groan and ask if it’s time to turn back yet.

I am thankful that mine did, it was the only time I felt at peace when they were little.

The last one is superb: I am enamored of the image of being lost in each other!
