TAKE WING is a call for action. The figure is steady yet poised to take wing. My piece highlights this singular figure who bathes in spirited self-reliance. TAKE WING extends her limbs while balancing on her left foot. She expresses the pivot point of a new beginning, a new path.
TAKE WING
Leave your ship for sirens sing,
A good clip, skipper and king,
Launch the trip, no cares will cling,
Cash the scrip, what fate may bring.
Fears you grip don’t mean a thing,
Let it rip like zingers zing,
Hop and skip and whirl and fling,
Crack the whip, beat time, and swing.
You won’t slip or miss a thing,
Pluck and snip pearls off a string,
Purse your lip, let anthems ring,
Seize this tip and just take wing.
