Started writing it two decades ago,136Please respect copyright.PENANAXXzOpDdMxW
Using a pseudonym for first/last time,136Please respect copyright.PENANAN0DHDdLl84
To protect the guilty and innocent,136Please respect copyright.PENANAoB59neJdLy
In this autobiographical work.136Please respect copyright.PENANAhovZvZfWYc
136Please respect copyright.PENANA7tgNljGwWu
Life got in the way of reliving it,136Please respect copyright.PENANAxjwWoMYcvZ
Work, wife, parents with health issues, now gone,136Please respect copyright.PENANAgH0GxN5NGa
Back burners full of overflowing pots,136Please respect copyright.PENANA8CbO0ApFd8
The sands of time quickly sifting through my fingers.136Please respect copyright.PENANA0e9NrvOzfg
136Please respect copyright.PENANAIYZoDegpOW
Serious writing projects completed,136Please respect copyright.PENANAkPxY2qBboV

New courses to develop and to teach.136Please respect copyright.PENANAj1YF2ZnM7r
136Please respect copyright.PENANAnyKi0dyKOg
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,136Please respect copyright.PENANAydxklhCsJy
But not not written down to pass down my truth,136Please respect copyright.PENANARpac0bsE9x
About things I know much more than I'd like,136Please respect copyright.PENANABHot0FE3zt
And others should learn, in old age and youth.136Please respect copyright.PENANAgDKamCqg5V
136Please respect copyright.PENANAkknUWYJArJ
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,136Please respect copyright.PENANA7iNXE8EPxE
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,136Please respect copyright.PENANAA5POffZtIi
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,136Please respect copyright.PENANAFPlUXWO797
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.136Please respect copyright.PENANAWW2RX2neYR
136Please respect copyright.PENANA28EwZVT2zt
So I'm back again, reliving the past,136Please respect copyright.PENANALuKLbkeeqZ
In memory still green, though browning in parts,136Please respect copyright.PENANATUSlNaCsRH
Taking poetic license where I must,136Please respect copyright.PENANApwnm2hGus8
But gently as a child's butterfly kiss.136Please respect copyright.PENANABnbaddadTj
136Please respect copyright.PENANARVqS4NF8OL
Nearly nine thousand words today for just,136Please respect copyright.PENANALBh9RT1wRQ
One day's events that sowed a thousand seeds,136Please respect copyright.PENANAPkzIj7WGmF
That sprouted, flourished and died or were pecked,136Please respect copyright.PENANAjbxbKiZHQD
By hungry vultures out of existence.136Please respect copyright.PENANAMhnZ1kvGOS
136Please respect copyright.PENANAHuoS5YPDnA
Remembering a day in my career,136Please respect copyright.PENANAoM3QTmvIa6
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,136Please respect copyright.PENANAad6beqnXjp
And had not opened doors I could not close,136Please respect copyright.PENANAm8mjCaStLn
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.136Please respect copyright.PENANAPEMxsfIhk3
136Please respect copyright.PENANAR89LphxLJ5
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,136Please respect copyright.PENANAHRa7HQPaMW
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,136Please respect copyright.PENANAkaLVIMZmm6
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,136Please respect copyright.PENANA5SZU2vHShM
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.136Please respect copyright.PENANApozznVTade
136Please respect copyright.PENANACuGvbuDsOR
The painful memories I now drown in,136Please respect copyright.PENANArFrFruJg5Q
I will not disclose. The pain I've given,136Please respect copyright.PENANAPOGAxN0z0P
The pain I've received, I'll whitewash away,136Please respect copyright.PENANAACVxaEmvPE
To protect myself and those I have loved.136Please respect copyright.PENANAgwymHS1rBQ
136Please respect copyright.PENANAei0kVjZ6lv
I'll limit my journey to work alone,136Please respect copyright.PENANA8vVLhWVFiH
Describe what I've learned that others should know,136Please respect copyright.PENANAviYENU6OA7
Weave the personal with transparent thread,136Please respect copyright.PENANAXZMYREcQRt
The professional with thickest red yarn.136Please respect copyright.PENANAUOInKXQ3CR
136Please respect copyright.PENANAhUZd7eIU7e
I'll search for an agent when it is done,136Please respect copyright.PENANAz8hzQERLBn
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,136Please respect copyright.PENANAJzXkfQ3G5q
And I believe it will find a market,136Please respect copyright.PENANAxbHzFb8gsQ
For it will reveal some essential truths.136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0y0Ec7DR5
136Please respect copyright.PENANAF57IUiUVl7
It will teach much more that all need to know,136Please respect copyright.PENANAUUwBHcjjxs
Than my life's work: Lectures, books, articles,136Please respect copyright.PENANAJqWdwQZkDF
Poetry, fiction, blogs, presentations,136Please respect copyright.PENANAuKsmSWdcC5
Hope I can write it before my life ends.136Please respect copyright.PENANAn7CBLFCOUC
136Please respect copyright.PENANAF3RgFCdEpZ
My sand's running out, tick tock cries the clock,136Please respect copyright.PENANA2FDJF85WFB
