Sounds Of Sarah's Silence ~*Marge Tindal*~ In rushed sounds of silence her hands moving with rapidity Exclaiming all the beauty her little eyes could see With gestured fluttering her finger movement escalates combined with facial gestures I could not help but relate Without a spoken word gesticulating the music of the nightingale How upon the her heart his song did softly assail She felt the air vibrating bringing her senses along Seeing the joy on her face I have no doubt she heard the singing of his song Her sounds of silent seeking brings music to me in a new way I listen with her senses hoping to hear the new song of her day ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Hi Marge..... Every single thing you write has such an individual grace........... This was no exception.... Very tender and beautiful! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

cheeez...how versatile can you get...one minute you are peeping in windows and then the next you are giving us this. Will the real Marge please stand up.lol Lovely creation from you once again.  Without a spoken word gesticulating the music of the nightingale How upon the her heart his song did softly assail She felt the air vibrating bringing her senses along Seeing the joy on her face I have no doubt she heard the singing of his song |

OMG Marge...our Muse is one tonight within us...if and when you might have a moment...go see Passions in Prose, "Lady in White, Woman in Red"...are we NOT on the same wavelength of sorts? By the way, splendid work, but I get SO repetitive with you!!!< !signature--> Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ [This message has been edited by Sunshine (edited 08-13-2000).] |

Marge, What beauty you put into each line. You created a vision of what she could hear even if only with her fingertips. BloomimgRose |

Sunny1~ So appreciative of your thoughts - thank you. MarkB~ Yesterday a new child was introduced to my mentoring group ... Sarah is eleven. They say she doesn't hear. She doesn't think they are right. And she spent the entire time convincing me that she just may be right. What a joy to see her tell her stories. Needless to say ... she curled up in my heart. Karilea~ I read your prose piece with awe. Spirits move us both. I don't think that surprises either of us. Corinne~ Innocence, indeed. Such pure love pours from this child. Sure touches my heart. ETHome~ Sarah 'talked' incessantly, trying to convince me that she 'hears' ... she just may be right ! BloomingRose~ You should see those fingers fly. Whew ! Wore me out just watching. But her face spoke volumes too. *Thanks to each of you for letting me share Sarah with you. No doubt you'll hear more of her from me. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Krista~ Thank you for the sweet reply. Sarah would inspire all of us to listen more closely to the sounds around us. She more than delights my senses with her enthusiasm for life. My goodness at the things life gives us to appreciate. Kind friends like you area among those treasures. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

A very imaginative and romantic piece Marge. I liked the way that you've put yourself in another person's place...that was brilliant! Thanks for providing us another set of colorful rhymes that comes with a style that's too unique to be duplicated. Peace, Nathan Nathan |

She felt the air vibrating bringing her senses along Seeing the joy on her face I have no doubt she heard the singing of his song Her sounds of silent seeking brings music to me in a new way I listen with her senses hoping to hear the new song of her day .... Marge, This is tender, lovely, affectionate... and ... and ...  regards, sudhir |

Hey Marge! This one hits home. I think you already know I work at a radio station, so you can imagine the importance the sound of music is in my life. To be struck deaf, to be cheated of so much in life, that would be a pretty hard thing to overcome. I'm glad Sarah is at least able to feel the music. My best to you and yours. Peace! |

Marge...this hit so close to home for me...see I have a neice that had a stroke before she was even born...the doctors said she would never be normal..never walk talk hear...that was six years ago...thru love patience and endless hours of therapy she is as normal a child as any...she learned to sign before she spoke...and she would patiently teach her auntie love words from her heart to mine. |

Sudhir~ Your reply pleases this tender heart. Andrew~ As music is such a part of your life - have you ever watched the joy on the face of a deaf child as they 'hear' the vibrations of the music ... ? It's so exciting to see ! Thanks for the reply. Paula~ These very special people 'hear' things so tenderly ... Thank goodness they share so willingly with us. I'm glad you can share her pleasure. JennE~ The versatility is written on my heart ... by some loving people. I'm happy to share these things. Very pleased that you enjoyed it. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge. there are no words that will do justice to the way I feel about this poem. But let me just say, you brought a vibrancy about deafness and I could almost see the signing. I guess Sarah must really be deaf and smart. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Absolutely beautiful my friend....please send this one out. I'm sure there are many publications for the deaf that would be honored to print your words. If you'd like, let me know and I'll hunt up a few for you |
