Description
I combined a capture of the Supermoon of Nov. 15th 2016 with some Photoshop brushes of trees and flying geese in this digital composition. I purposely blurred the moon and to a lesser degree, the trees and geese. I added a tint of orange to the moon and purple to the upper sky area. 1-2-18, I wrote a poem inspired by the art and combined the two into a single art piece.
Since the text is unreadable because of the small format of the image on FAA, here it is in simple text alone...
"In The Wings"
Even Geese in the cold stillness of night,
Have a direction in their midnight flight,
In formation straight and tight,
They fly together 'til out of sight,
What becomes of them once they're gone,
The echoing fade of a honking song,
They flock and fly together as one,
In a mission, persistent, 'til it's over and done,
Safety in numbers,
They journey together,
Helping each other,
Through all kinds of weather,
Keeping the pace
Taking turns with the lead,
Keeping the faith,
Holding fast to their creed,
Is it the stars that show them the way,
An internal compass, some people say,
Awareness of land as they travel each day,
Or is it instinct and desire, that sway,
Whatever the lessons presented before us,
First come the lyrics and later the chorus,
With skill and luck, a melody ensues,
The syncopated harmony of notes that we choose.
With persistence, desire, and much fortitude,
We may strike a chord, that changes the mood,
For sometimes a change is all we need to see,
If it's in the right direction, and in the right key.
