Signs

Riddle me this.

A puzzle I give to inquiring minds--

 

What is an eye to the blind, but an eye?

What do you say of a symphony, say, to a
gentleman speaking with fingers and signs? We all

call upon mysteries, Freedom and Bliss, yet to

hands there exists not a sign for the silence.

Notions and teachings to sponges of minds say that
everything has just a name--just a name! But a

musing and wise is a mother of riddles, who
names her boy Nameless and dares him to lie.

Author's Note

There is no word in sign language for silence. But there's a word for music. Just think about what that means about language itself and what purpose it serves.

[Hedra Helix]

Neat twisty turn around of word and sounds in this, I like how you layer your say in the third line. Say indeed.
