The pursed lips that pursue a vagrant thought, Gleaming on your child's face unsought, Bits of turbulence drowned boulders rile. The pursed lips that pursue a vagrant thought, The playful love of irony that's wrought By centuries, millennia of style -- Ripples in a stream by sunlight caught As generations flow through lifetimes fraught With rocks and tree limbs, rippling all the while. The pursed lips that pursue a vagrant thought, Passed on and on through love, are not for naught, But deeply bond the parent to the child, Ripples in a stream by sunlight caught, Dear reiterations dearly bought, Yet calculated to one's heart beguile. The pursed lips that pursue a vagrant thought -- Ripples in a stream by sunlight caught. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use. Audio and Video Music: Frozen in Love.
