Sense-less Echoes

 

 

 

No sound I'll hear from day to day
A silent world in disarray.


A world that echoes constant fear
Will I plummet or persevere?


I'll try so hard to talk to you,
But those who'll know my language, few.

 

I'll speak by hand, write in the air,
Hear with my eyes, watching with care.

 

Come give me your hand, a friendship found,

Sing beautiful songs without making a sound.


There's so much I wish to share with you

I just hope to God I'll hear you too.

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

 

Will I emerge to a world devoid of sound or my very own sound sanctuary???

    Del, what a beautiful write! All this time and I never realized that you were deaf, somehow that escaped me and I usually more observant to those things especially seeing as how many years ago I wanted to teach hearing impaired children. I was truly touched by this write and these lines "I'll try so hard to talk to you,
    But those who'll know my language, few" speak volumes to anyone who sees them. Signing is a beautiful language that I am glad to have learned, your poetry is another language that I'm so blessed to have found. You really are a wonderful soul little bro!!

    Speaks to me about trying to transcend the gap between each person we encounter, and the success or failure of those attempts. You worded a complicated sentiment exquisitely.

    Wow. This was beautiful. I loved this. My favorite line? "I'll speak by hand, write in the air." You're an incredible poet, with an amazing control of language. Tell me, have you always been deaf?
    Write on.

    As I've come to expect; another fantastic write from you. Echoing your thoughts in "change", this truly shows how compassionate you are towards the people you support. I am pleased to know that children are now being taught sign language in schools when there is a person who is deaf, in the class. Though, I would love to see the "subject" added to the national curriculum so that everyone could learn to "sing beautiful songs without making a sound".

    Wonderful, once more.

    David.

    very good :)

    I love the way you have written this... the poem is very personal, but yet I feel as if I could relate to it in a different way. I love the flow and I think I will be coming back to read more of your work.

    I'll try so hard to talk to you,
    But those who'll know my language, few.

    that is my favorite part of this whole poem, I can relate.

    'Sing beautiful songs without making a sound'.........thats what you do every time you write a poem.
    Remember- Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not Absence of fear.
    You can do this.
    .....Thinking of you right now....xxx
