Inspired (again) by Bud the Teacher:

Take wing -
Take heed -
Find the wind that leads you forward -
Take care –
Take stock -
Your journey ahead is marked by what it is you have left behind you after all this time -
Protection –
Hardly worn yet battered by the breezes, shaken yet never torn from where it stood among the trees -
You emerged anew as a child born again -
Take flight -
Take care -
Be gone now and follow the slow arc of the Earth towards your destination-
Take wing –
Farewell!

Peace (in the poems),
