I loved the lyrics, poems, and quotes you matched with this image:
‘I’m looking for the face I had / before the world was made.’ ~ Yeats
“May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.” ~ Edward Abbey
“And So I Became a Knight of the Kingdom of Dreams and Shadows” ~ Mark Twain
“The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed paws.” ~slightly edited quote of Mark Twain
“All along the watchtower / Princes kept the view” ~ Bob Dylan, made famous by Jimi Hendrix
“Out of the ash I rise with my red hair And eat men like air” Sylvia Plath
And the ones straight from your mind and heart:
Glimpse of an Angel

A quail of a tail
(i mean, look at his tail. It really does look like a bird is flying right behind, not his tail)

“stayin’ home”
“the grass is NOT greener on the other side of the fence”
I just kept thinking of the words to that song “home” that went with your vimeo….
“Home is anywhere that I am with you”
Pure contentment is what I see in Charlie…far from the fence and not wanting to go anywhere outside of his home.

Literary Quotes:
“The wind has changed. I must go.” (– from “Mary Poppins”, I think, by P.L. Travers. )
“There’s a cold wind coming, Watson.” (– from ‘His Last Bow’ by Arthur Conan Doyle.)
Charlie Gale (like Dorothy’s last name in “The Wizard of Oz” by L. Frank Baum)
Song Lyrics:
“Blowin’ in the wind… How many roads must a coyote walk down, before he’s allowed to be free?” (Bob Dylan, natch.)
“Windmills of my mind…” (not very appropriate, but it’s a song lyric!)
Puns:
