Written for Friday Wrtings #85 :First Lines
Inspired by the first lines of......
"By the river Piedra I sat down and wept "
---Paulo Coelho
Be thou silent
I wait no answers
and as the longings conjure
and break of their own might
The torrential rain of heavens
touching the ground
a sorrow drenches my heart
A mountain I stand
feeling the gale of your thoughts
A clock ticking in the sky
your heart beats hear I
Once your dreams
had been mine
Now I carry the burden
of another's broken dream
The tears that flow
meets the river of prayer
my weeping shall be
an entreaty to God
and so solace shall be found
* The first lines begin by the same words as the name of the novel .
