Slight difference to the norm .Apart from Poetry and Literature in general the other passion I have in life is Sign language . I’m studying hopefully to be an interpreter /communication officer of deaf teenagers and adults in further education asI feel strongly that everybody has the right to communication
Anyways I have the first part of a three part exam this evening so I thought I wrote a poem about Signing and the meeting of the two worlds…hopes you enjoy. Finn x
Speak to me through hands
From fingertips to closed palm
To the features of your face
Break through the barriers of our worlds
With a symphony of mime
Unlock the secrets I cannot understand
Show me the ways of your words
As I allow you to understand mine
Dance your sentences for me
Express them through the movement of your body
A language that is not mine
Speak to me through hands
