Using a pseudonym for first/last time,136Please respect copyright.PENANAu6uLrVvzRJ

In this autobiographical work.136Please respect copyright.PENANAaAmfsBT8D5
136Please respect copyright.PENANAagpNnohH8w
Life got in the way of reliving it,136Please respect copyright.PENANAtBsX5ueUng
Work, wife, parents with health issues, now gone,136Please respect copyright.PENANAXmzepKkl9U
Back burners full of overflowing pots,136Please respect copyright.PENANAKRah0AhpYC
The sands of time quickly sifting through my fingers.136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5QGrY7HiA
136Please respect copyright.PENANAmOEKxp4wdP
Serious writing projects completed,136Please respect copyright.PENANAdchU7ZX22G

136Please respect copyright.PENANALr7CNJR0YZ
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,136Please respect copyright.PENANASBjNuS1DnV
But not not written down to pass down my truth,136Please respect copyright.PENANAVSHrzw60my
About things I know much more than I'd like,136Please respect copyright.PENANAdBgOUthCCV
And others should learn, in old age and youth.136Please respect copyright.PENANA2vUxUTnXcV
136Please respect copyright.PENANAPE1N13Euzn
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,136Please respect copyright.PENANAkgoJZMpC0t
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,136Please respect copyright.PENANAxa4HvdiPH8
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,136Please respect copyright.PENANAdNTkeA0Xwm
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.136Please respect copyright.PENANA7w77dSf7xr
136Please respect copyright.PENANAuidB3OxHDW
So I'm back again, reliving the past,136Please respect copyright.PENANAhX3SKRSxdS
In memory still green, though browning in parts,136Please respect copyright.PENANAI2JVc67h0b
Taking poetic license where I must,136Please respect copyright.PENANA4WujcMTPKN
But gently as a child's butterfly kiss.136Please respect copyright.PENANA0Vx2e8L7S7
136Please respect copyright.PENANAEvw1vMl26R
Nearly nine thousand words today for just,136Please respect copyright.PENANArqvxAurC78
One day's events that sowed a thousand seeds,136Please respect copyright.PENANAcUeRyI70rq
That sprouted, flourished and died or were pecked,136Please respect copyright.PENANAVRbB2UwYZa
By hungry vultures out of existence.136Please respect copyright.PENANAQy73BbSVM7
136Please respect copyright.PENANASx8RFJAm8J
Remembering a day in my career,136Please respect copyright.PENANAaVEqxy3hJr
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,136Please respect copyright.PENANA5V9fzYoRUI
And had not opened doors I could not close,136Please respect copyright.PENANA93vWkFPzRt
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.136Please respect copyright.PENANA5I5jisntHg
136Please respect copyright.PENANAfdTLGrw9hH
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,136Please respect copyright.PENANA6Mg4qlJoKg
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,136Please respect copyright.PENANA3sYgSvi4ME
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,136Please respect copyright.PENANAuv6bcRt3R6
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.136Please respect copyright.PENANAI9FW5ZxRSA
136Please respect copyright.PENANAtillgHOS2J
The painful memories I now drown in,136Please respect copyright.PENANAURseZnItbb
I will not disclose. The pain I've given,136Please respect copyright.PENANAKfKjFV061E
The pain I've received, I'll whitewash away,136Please respect copyright.PENANADTtiwee0Hq
To protect myself and those I have loved.136Please respect copyright.PENANA0WiSB3Go2x
136Please respect copyright.PENANAGS0Ve1BZTd
I'll limit my journey to work alone,136Please respect copyright.PENANApdG9rOqLzP
Describe what I've learned that others should know,136Please respect copyright.PENANAcTxsn0BCye
Weave the personal with transparent thread,136Please respect copyright.PENANAWxpxiOI98m
The professional with thickest red yarn.136Please respect copyright.PENANAjgpr2In2r9
136Please respect copyright.PENANAnrUnEi3zqS
I'll search for an agent when it is done,136Please respect copyright.PENANAWU5Ov6wh9c
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,136Please respect copyright.PENANAxR9uFXlmz0
And I believe it will find a market,136Please respect copyright.PENANADaGC7KAz2i
For it will reveal some essential truths.136Please respect copyright.PENANAOg0biImolk
136Please respect copyright.PENANAkAUDKnNCom
It will teach much more that all need to know,136Please respect copyright.PENANATqcfrzyGca
Than my life's work: Lectures, books, articles,136Please respect copyright.PENANAxOWsEzPISF
Poetry, fiction, blogs, presentations,136Please respect copyright.PENANAxh1Yo7fMcx
Hope I can write it before my life ends.136Please respect copyright.PENANAnpzEVxLzrP
