Perpetuum Mobile

Oh for an ounce of meaning
And a pound of purpose,
The joy of the twain- in step:
Purpose sprouts into meaning
And meaning doth regress
A loop eternal, it be
Unceasing, billowing,
Fair enough to fire a lifetime,
Perchance even two: for each
may find the other’s sorrows
their brunt to bear; the joys
theirs to upkeep;
In concert, in tandem:
Man’s conception of
Perpetuum Mobile.
