Voices of Communication
They live in a world of silence
Yet they can hear remarkably well
For they hear with their hands
And their eyes speak volumes
Communication does not need to be verbal
Much can be said through action
Even more sometimes is said through inaction
Eyes have no ears, yet they hear all
For pity can be heard and felt
Fear of the unknown can be seen
Ignorance is not silent
It screams very loudly
The deaf may not hear a falling tree
Yet a smile sends them your laughter
A hug sends them your love
Tears show them your sadness
They most certainly hear,
The pity in your eyes
The ignorance when you avert your gaze
The feeling of being shut out, silenced even more
Talk to them with your hands
Silence to you, but wonderful conversation to them
Filled with emotion and action
Speak to them with your eyes, end their silence
They are deaf, not mute, not dumb
Simply quiet in a world of noise
Waiting for you to communicate
Waiting for you to finally hear their voice
