Sample of Daniel Durant's ASL Poetry: "Alone"

[@cygnus29]

Simply perfect. This story can only be told in this language.. words don't make it justice.

[@jfregoe]

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

[@lizzykate3730]

i'm a hearing ASL student and this is only my 3rd year taking sign language. but i still think that this is the most beautiful poem (in any language) that i've ever come across. and the growth/emotion it demonstrates makes it that much more impactful

[@gretag8236]

Oh wow! That was beautiful. Not going to lie, it reminds me of Melchior's train of thought during "Those You've Known"💖

[@adammccarthybrown]

You are not alone! I loved this very much. Thank you.

Very moving!!

[@jgoodangel1]

can you translate this please? I am new to ASL, and I can catch a few words, but I miss a lot. From just the words I know, I can tell its a beautiful piece.

[@kimberlyjennery]

+Jessica Spratling translation coming soon!

[@nstrisower]

Same. I'm learning ASL because it seems that it's simply purer than English in its expression of emotion and concept, and because Deaf culture is a fascinating study in sociology and history, but..."learning" being the operative word. EDIT: I believe I have figured it out (although I may have misinterpreted a few parts), and it's extremely great. Brilliant in its use of the unique aspects of ASL (which are pretty much all of them, at least side-by-sided with spoken/written English).

Search the comments "Scott" and you'll fine my 'interpretation' from last year.

[@tapat12]

@@jscottcalder where is your comment for the interpretation? I'm still looking for it.

[@jscottcalder]

Here again: As far as I can see there is nothing It's all empty Darkness closes in It's pouring and the wind is blustering I'm so cold and alone Nobody wants to know me I'm so alone. My world has fallen to pieces There is nothing left. I feel so much pain...so depressed. My tears are like rain My spirit is dried up I'll just blow it away Blooo....HOLD ON! Someone draws near "I love you" I'm confused...what? My heart starts to beat. It gets stronger, Filling my whole being Pouring out and restoring My world is full! The rain fades away, the sun burst forth The warmth floods me That... person....I feel LOVE! I'm not alone.
