Fly Over Rainbows in the Sky
Fly my pretties, fly
over rainbows in the sky
Ruby red slippers can only stride
on yellow bricks that have been appliedJudy Garland made the trip
visiting a Munchkin and a Witch
Storms of life bellows clouds in the sky
allowing trips over rainbows therebyWhy o why cant life storms
transform rainbows to conform
Blue Birds and Slippers may be the clue
of how she flewBut if I could fly … I would over rainbows in the sky. ©2008

@Gypsywings2fly - Thank you for your reply … wouldn’t that be so magical to fly over rainbows in the sky? Maybe some day that will happen. Hugs Gypsy
Wow its been along time since Ive seen that movie… This brought back some good memories of it though…
@Adamission12 - Wife purchased the DVD of this movie and we watched it recently. It sure was a classic from a period where dreams were full of fantasy … very much like to today. It seemed even better watching the entire movie without commercial interruptions.
This is enchanting! The Wizard of Oz was a favorite of mine when I was a child, although I really was terrified of the flying monkeys. This brought back some wonderful memories. It would be so lovely to fly above the rainbows, wouldn’t it?
Hugs, Dawn

This poem of yours is read at an interesting time as at this very moment, Liza Minnelli is being interviewed on the TODAY show!
Connections of threads are always so interesting!
Keep flying friend…remember it is never the take off nor the flight but the landing we need heed! May yours be soft!
