If You wanted to
You could use shadows to write messages
telling the way to go,
Draw pictures in clouds
that show what to look for.
You could teach birds to chirp
in codes of welcome and warning.
You could set the stars in connect-the-dots,
and arrange the branches of trees
into a cosmic invitation
to meet You halfway.

Submission Name: You
I like. And I'm assuming it's about God, due to the capitalization of the pronoun 'You'. The poem would make sense that it is God, but you may be rather clever and think "I will capitalize the personal pronouns and structure the poem to make them think I'm alluding to God!" Then Irina suggests a deceased loved one, well maybe, I'm guessing it's someone in power due to what they can do 'could set the stars'. But that could be some crazy metaphor. Ok, I'll stop trying to figure you out. Although I don't understand it, I like the last line.
