• running along the feilds
    mud between the toes of her dry feet
    & wet clothes
    her heart beating for the rain to stop
    the farm sky filled with birds as far as the eye can see
    her wanting to be free
    like the birds in the sky

    pumping her wings to the beating of her heart
    &seeing the world from up high
    jumping up high getting ready to fly
    &diving through the clouds in the sky

    the fire in her heart yearning for something new
    with no worries to pay
    "get your head out of the cloud" her mother would say
    but she kept them there
    &dare to open the cage
    each page of her story about the wanting to fly

    to open that cage
    and be free to fly
