Today's word is Ameslan ... AM-slan ... American Sign Language. (dictionary.com)
Sign
It seems sometimes that it would be,
A better thing to see,
Someone speaking without sound,
Than screaming in mad glee.
The uncommon language, Ameslan,
Is beautiful in form,
As a dance of varied notes,
Shaped with expressive hand.
Few would choose this mode of speech,
Yet in its purest form,
It lingers in the eye and heart,
Like sunset on a beach.
