The title is chosen over the fact it is how it starts. Every time we break our heart or a piece of it, we retreat in silence before anything else. I hope one understands what I tried here.

Distilled in Silence
Distilled in silence
a break of the heart
in a single beat.
Escapes a roar
filled with suffer
past salted lips.
Engulfed by light
The scream vanishes
in sight of world.
Evaporated in chaos
washing with tears
the streets of blood.
Surrounded by dust
heavy on shoulders
in suffocating rubble.
Kneels one of human
stuffed with hope
for more understanding.
Not break another heart
of the silenced Father
or the roaring Mother
Lover, sister or brother
give to a child in chaos
a future of hope.
