DOWP Merism
(not even good enough)Jenny prayed"Dear God, make me a bird. So I could fly far. Far far away from here."
Her voice echoed, vibrated, and bounced round and round my head.
Her voice blending with my own
Until it became my prayer.
But after the 3rd, 5th, and 15th time, the movie lost its magic
Jenny never became a bird
and neither would I
Dear God
DOWP @pallidpenyou caught me lingering
in another girl's paradise
the way she paints the world --
i want that in my life, emeralds,
you should know,
are renting in her meadow
with a stroke beauty lives
how could i resist you are desire
when it all is said said and done
who can love you and still be standingAnother Girl's Paradise
Tori AmosBye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you,girlboyThings just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,Freebird
Lynyrd SkynyrdI really did repeat those words over and over again in my head and watched birds forever to envy their freedom.

I love that film, and the part you reference is very powerful. Thanks for participating!

@mtngirlsouth - Well, if my husband ever drives a motorcycle, the world will end.
@Erika_Steele - I think you'd freeze first, tonight! LOL (Wait till it's warmer.) I don't know how to drive one, I just rode on the back. I'm too intimidated about having to change the gears. But I WAS told that I knew when to lean and all that very well.
I am still going to try to change Rick's mind. Hehehehe.
@mtngirlsouth - you are tempting me to steal my dad's Harley and drive it around the farm until I can actually handle it.
@Erika_Steele - Me too. But, in my experience, riding on the back of a motorcycle felt like I think a bird feels when he soars high in the sky in the wind. (I HATE that Rick thinks they're too dangerous.)
@mtngirlsouth - I still think it would be amazing to be a bird, but I think I want to keep the life I have now.
When I saw that movie I was stunned, because I used to beg God to make me a bird too. It never occurred to me that anyone else did that.
