Offer through the motion
Hands move throughout the word
To mend and bring supply
Where voices are not heard
Though tongue in silent sits
Upon the lips of the wise
Countless understandings
Of hands they recognize
The expressions of the one
Who stands to view this mystery
See not the source of expression
Throughout all history.
Oh what then can we offer
To those with voice discern
Pure silence of our hands
Our language we did learn.

Poetry: Deafness
How loud is silence
Quick moving hands,
sign excitement.
Mouths moving
with quiet sentences,
flow to my ears.
Faces weighted
by Mia Marks
A SILENT WORLD
What would the world be without sound?
Could you find contentment in silence?
Would you miss the voice
by Lisa Kates
Alone in crowded rooms
As
Mouths move
Silent as falling snow.
Sitting in a corner
Watching gestures speak
Living in dreams
by Tenebris
Bespeak me, brother
I cannot hear:
Your entreaties fall
On deaf ears.
I cry out for
Your voice
Your touch
Lost
In the voice
Of my
Hollow ears
Unable to hear
Blocked from anger
Saved from fear
I loved you then
I love you now
People wonder why
Ask me how
