Brief Eternity

I hear my "hey la"

Echo with my "hola"

Beneath my footbridge, where I always sing

Whistling papa's whistle

Bouncing off the stone

Closing my eyes to find eternal spring

Rolling down the hillside

Soaking in the twilight

Floating with laughter and the spinning sky

Deep in constellations

Fathoming creation

How could all this evolve from timeless time

Imagine this...

One brief eternity

A tiny glimpse from God

One small infinity where I sing my "hey la"

Dropping back to hard hand

Ticking with the tock land

Finding a portal to a timeless sea

Maybe someone's kiss is

Where suspended bliss is

Or in the moment

Before your baby

Drifts to sleep

Your lullabies lullaby you

Lullabies will bring you back

Drifting off and slipping into

Somewhere you swear you hear

Voices, mama's "doo doo doo doo"

Lovers whisper "oo oo oo oo"

Loved ones lost are singing with you

Psalms and whispers

Working in the garden has you

Breathing in the bloom, and then you

View the sunset view to bring you

Back to awe and understanding

To the place

Where revelations seem so never ending

Mama hear my "hey la, hey la..."

I hear papa's whistle, can you hear him too

God has granted us

With this brief eternity

A chance to see

A wondrous glimpse

Within a kiss

Suspended bliss

An echoed voice

A spinning boy

Who's drifting with the stars to sleep
