On Life (Rubiyat Sonnet)

In the sea of life we are blessed with individuality
and yet in all of this we yearn for company
for someone to love, to trust and admire
as to our same-self we are set with a personality

but although we are distinct like islands in the stream
of having a own place in the sun we do dream
of being accepted and fitting in somewhere we want
and to achieve, to be more, to be great we do deem.

The things called hope, faith and love is factored into this
while duty, honour and sincerity is part of what a great person is
where without them we do not really wholly exist
where life is much more than experiencing earthly bliss

we search for immortality be it what it may
and yet we are transient do day by day wither away.
