Distress Calls

If you are sailing and need help,
but have no flares or rockets on your ship,
there is a signal of distress
a person can perform physically.

Stretch out both arms on either side of your body,
then slowly raise        and lower them           repeatedly.
Pretend you are a bird 
                                flying in slow motion.
If you close your eyes, it might even be peaceful.

Mover, shaker, magic-maker. Writer, dreamer, singer/composer, philosopher. I majored in literature & creative writing at UCSB's College of Creative Studies, from which I graduated in 2002. I write a philosophy blog called "Parallax Journal: The Quester's Companion," and my book of poems, "Pollen," is available online at Finishing Line Press (published under Tai Carmen). I believe it is the duty of every human being---and specifically every dreamer, sensitive & independent thinker---to personally awaken to their highest calling in order that the collective might begin to wake into the next level of consciousness, which is essential for our survival as a species.
