Spirits Take Flight
Rhythm of hoofbeats
Whisper of wings
Freedom fills your souls.
Fire horse… swift and bold
Air eagle… intent and graceful
Impart your strength,
Show us your courage
To rise about earthbound doubts
Spirits take flight, and carry us
To the plains and the skies
Of possibility

STORY BEHIND THE ART
In this painting a beautiful horse and a golden eagle become one being, sharing their wild beauty and dynamic power. Great horses are often referred to as having the look of eagles, and in the Koran, the horse has the power of flight without wings. These powerful animal archetypes carry different meanings for different people, but always represent a touch of destiny and spiritual power.
