About the Work

"Silent and Noisy Strikes" is a meditation on the power of writing as a cathartic release for unvoiced emotions. Through vivid imagery and a reflective tone, the poem delves into themes of past anxieties, future fears, and the present's void. The juxtaposition of silence and noise underscores the tension between what is felt and what is expressed, creating a resonant and contemplative reading experience.

Silent and Noisy Strikes.

Original Submission by E.D.N.H.Edirisingha [Eth]

Silent and Noisy Strikes.

I want to cry out all my worries

On this little piece of paper.

Each strike of my pen carries

Silent screams of thoughts

About the past, fears about the future,

And emptiness about the present.

This little thing won’t be able to hold

All the strikes of my silence

And my noise;

Yet, I want to continue.
