The River

A Poem by peter Duggan

Mystery of the River

The River

The river Gently flowing in the moonlight
The stars like diamonds gazing from above
And life it seemed so vast
All present and all past
As all existence glowed with mystic love

I felt those velvet raindrops as they touched me
Caressing my soft skin to make it glow
Sweet mystery astounds
Such beauty all around
And all that ever was it seemed to flow

ChorusI

I searched so deep within to find the answers
As tears they softly flowed from happy eyes
And that peace it was so deep
My life felt so complete
As all around the rain fell from the skies

And then it came, I felt that truth within me
That I was nought, and yet so very much
As that truth within my soul
It made me feel so whole
As love looked down and filled me with its touch
