SONNET LXXVII - PHILOSOPHY

So many souls are lost in endless search
and have been since their days of early youth
Just like a bird without a place to perch
they fly exhausting quests to find the truth
The doctors say you're set if you've got health
and scholars love the light that knowledge brings
The rich man finds contentment in his wealth
but all of that's just complicating things
Life's meaning isn't deep and far away
You'll never find your purpose here unless
you do the things that bring you joy each day
The simple truth comes down to happiness
   That's why I joy in all the things I do
   that make you fall in love with being you
