Signing a poem

ive started a brand new course recently,

it takes place two hours north from me,

in a place called Brisbane city, the drive up there is really pretty early i set out, friday morn, early from my slumber, i am torn.

So i miss the morning rush, up so early, all around is hush.

Im learning a second language now,

im learning to sign, so i can know how,

to speak to people differant to me,

unable to hear, imagine how that'd be

learn to communicate with someone who is deaf,

heard of hearing, or not much left.

our ears are utilised countless times a day,

i couldnt live without my ears, would be weird i hear you say,

a person, born into a silent world, experience senses heightend, peaked, and unfurl

to never have had heard a sound, must be a heavenly world abound,

now you might think that statement strange,

implications of hearing, there are a range,

for instance lets say i said to you, something u heard, and it made you stew,

out of shape, maybe get mad and bent, that you heard it wasnt what i meant,

you took it in a differant way, depends on how you "heard" what i did say.

my words were being said in kind, but that was misconstrued, in your mind.

my tone of voice my choice of word, think about it, its quite absurd,

things will be taken in a differant way, when your hearing what i say.

every sound you ever heard, every noise and every word,

is placed in a big recorder, generally stored and not in order.

they will be related to, differant memories, a time or two.

that song reminds u of that place, those words you hear, reminicent of that face.

sometimes your brain can play a game, something similar so its the same,

i say something, and off it goes, down your ears, and behind your nose,

instantly your mind's engaged, are we singing off the same hymn page?

i know what she meant, she was being kind, that voice in your head thats your mind,

or perhaps depending on your mood, you might think i was being rude.

lots and lots of misunderstood words, nouns, adjectives, and then some verbs.

they can all get in the way, sometimes, confused with what we say.

now signing can help with all of that, get your message right, straight off the bat,

get it right, recieved correct everytime,

do this when you learn to sign

i like to be able to hear,

but sometimes i think about what it would be like
