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 have come evolve from timeless time

Imagine this...

One brief eternity
One tiny glimpse from God
One small infinity
Where I sing "hey la"!

Dropping back to hard land
Ticking with the tock land
Finding a portal back to timeless seas

Maybe someone's kiss is
Where suspended bliss is
Or in the moment
Before your baby
Drifts to sleep
Your lullabies

Lulla-bye you
Will bring you back...

Drifting off and
Slipping into somewhere you swear you hear...

Voices, mama's "doo doo doo doo"
Lovers whisper "doo doo doo doo"
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 move you
Close to truly understanding
Life and death but nothing ending
Voices living on

Voices, mama's "doo doo doo doo"
Lovers cooing "doo doo doo doo"
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 Popa's whistle, can you hear him too...

God has granted us
With this brief eternity
A chance to see wondrous glimpse
Within a kiss
Suspended bliss
An echoed voice
A spinning boy
Who's drifting with the stars to sleep
