In the movie the girl stands
On a bridge over infinite clouds.
Below, a vast chasm.
The stones are cold
Under her hands, but there is sun
On her face and she closes her eyes.
A memory slides into focus.
Grandmother telling a story,
A story of a princess
Who sacrificed herself for love.
She leaped from the bridge of sighs
And turned into a snow white bird
Who lived forever flying among
The white clouds with her love.
The girl sighs.
She knows the only way to be
with her lover is to dive in.
Did he become a bird,
Waiting for her in the clouds below?
Without hesitation she climbs
Onto the stone wall and jumps.
Her arms go out, her legs spread out,
Her shirt fans out like white wings.
She falls into the waiting clouds,
A serene look on her face.
Gone forever.
