Signal If You Can
Like you, I am too clear to be seen.
Blink back if you see me.
Just maybe
I live in that star named Sol,
live as a bright beam
that you project.
Maybe you see me
from your dark planet?
Flicker in that darkness
if you understand.
You are that light beam.
Smile if you realize this.
“Joyful are the ones
that are a light unto themselves.”
Twitch an eyebrow
if you can hear.
That blue and green earth
has no light of its own
only souls make light.
Signal me
with your angelical
laughter lines
if you know this.
This sun
that I look from
will die,
but not you.
Nod if you are awake and
aware.
