How long must this eternity be?

Brief Eternity

images of the body
beauty within
how does one recognize
what burns in the soul

chords struck and comp
on the piano
notes glisten down
a glissando run

heaven makes itself known
behind closed eyes
passion of the moment
breathing to the beat

to witness beauty
is to know beauty forever
beyond body and into
this shifting world

your eyes are the sun
and the moon and I
can only look upon you
in pure adoration

I have found the eternal
in these fleeting moments
and I will remember for all
of my brief eternity

Lyric Fragment

I used to dream of forever 
Back when God knew my name
Now She doesn't even see me
When She walks past me
At the place we first met

What kind of eternity do you want?

Between Now and Eternity

The space between now and eternity
Can best be measured as the length
Of an ordinary human life. I am here.

This cannot last. This will not last.
Illusion of endless time aided by a life
Of comfort free from primal hardship.

See beyond the ordinary. Laugh at
This expression of the mundane
Passed off as profound wisdom.

The ordinary will keep you from
Searching. It will bind you to the
Chair from which you are reading this.

How we react to the tension between
Extremes will define us.
