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
