Life's Paradigm

When I examine everything I see
And find no fault in it but what's true
As to why I'm here and came to be
I have old answers from a point of view
To be alone in this flesh covered shell
Where perspective controls what I take in
Though perception can often compel
My focus on the world comes from within
Upon my last breath when I disappear
I will still question the passing of time
Alone, in my memories atmosphere
Vanquished by death, life's quiet paradigm

Like tides rushing to a surrendering shore
I was born to exist, until no more

Congrats on 3rd place!... This provokes deep thoughts from the reader. There is still so much we don't know about life... A very well written sonnet, Frederic. Really great work!

I believe there has to be more to it than just that, but I really enjoyed the read here, Frederic. Life is the stuff of which poets write more and more as they glide through their years!!
