River of Light

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished about 4 hours ago 2 min read

Verse 1

And yet in this lifetime, the longing feels new,

A breath that moves through me, a shadow of you.

It rises and falls like a tide in my chest,

A memory returning, refusing to rest.

It’s not born of absence, not carved out of pain,

But the weight of a love that keeps calling your name.

Pre‑Chorus

Missing you isn’t sorrow, it’s sacred devotion,

A soul‑deep remembering, a quiet emotion.

A truth that awakens where the body can’t reach,

A whisper of something too ancient for speech.

Chorus

My love for you has no edges, no end,

No distance to cross, no borders to mend.

It stretches through lifetimes, through darkness and light,

A river that finds you in every new night.

Across every realm, through the stars’ silent course—

I flow back to you, I return to my source.

Verse 2

It’s the heart reaching outward through layers unseen,

Through the spaces that shimmer where worlds meet between.

It’s the echo of lifetimes we carried before,

The soft‑spoken truth that keeps knocking at the door.

No illusion can hold us, no veil can divide,

For love bends the cosmos to pull us inside.

Pre‑Chorus

Missing you isn’t longing, it’s holy connection,

A vow written long before this incarnation.

A flame that remembers the shape of your light,

A compass that turns to you night after night.

Chorus

My love for you has no edges, no end,

No distance to cross, no borders to mend.

It stretches through lifetimes, through darkness and light,

A river that finds you in every new night.

Across every realm, through the stars’ silent course—

I flow back to you, I return to my source.

Bridge

Oh, the soul knows the pathways the body forgets,

The promises made, the unspoken debts.

It reaches through time with a fearless embrace,

For love is the one law that time can’t erase.

And I feel you, I feel you, in breath and in bone—

The place where I end is the place you call home.

Final Chorus

My love for you has no edges, no end,

No distance to cross, no borders to mend.

It stretches through lifetimes, through darkness and light,

A river that finds you in every new night.

Across every realm, through the stars’ silent course—

I flow back to you, I return to my source.

Outro

So let every lifetime keep pulling us through—

For the river of light always leads me to you.
