Gesticulation

I'm what the walking stick
is for the blind, eyes,
and I for you ,your voice. I'm made to give you back the things that you may
feel you have lost- independence, power to communicate verbally
and all the things that dumbness costs.
I'm here as a symbol and a reminder
that muteness is not a defect
but a way of holding conversation
differently, given
each of us are born with particular shade
we cannot help ,as sign language I'm
your mouthpiece.
