Life got in the way of reliving it,150Please respect copyright.PENANAMusdg6GPx7
Work, wife, parents with health issues, now gone,150Please respect copyright.PENANAw4HkmP3BU2
Back burners full of overflowing pots,150Please respect copyright.PENANANGGtNyxxrd
The sands of time quickly sifting through my fingers.150Please respect copyright.PENANAkeKHdGI82Y

150Please respect copyright.PENANAwSnsOxTUlo
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,150Please respect copyright.PENANAZGTL90DkAe
But not not written down to pass down my truth,150Please respect copyright.PENANADe3CyF8ilw
About things I know much more than I'd like,150Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7AECiJSha
And others should learn, in old age and youth.150Please respect copyright.PENANA9OmueXkp5R
150Please respect copyright.PENANA6G92j7rwK2
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,150Please respect copyright.PENANAXEz1pJlEBd
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,150Please respect copyright.PENANAyA9A8Zfs4V
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,150Please respect copyright.PENANA1P6JlTv6AE
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.150Please respect copyright.PENANAonXkJDcc7C

Nearly nine thousand words today for just,150Please respect copyright.PENANAn4BsjELDMN

By hungry vultures out of existence.150Please respect copyright.PENANAOB22GzlUId
150Please respect copyright.PENANAeZMbSQh7kv
Remembering a day in my career,150Please respect copyright.PENANAOzN3ZbbU6D
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,150Please respect copyright.PENANAFDXJxVdagq
And had not opened doors I could not close,150Please respect copyright.PENANAUQDigceFAX
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.150Please respect copyright.PENANARObmkQXbey
150Please respect copyright.PENANAWJvvTjS4T3
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,150Please respect copyright.PENANAXbM7ZPNITP
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,150Please respect copyright.PENANAu41bubzhVs
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,150Please respect copyright.PENANAj0QI7YKI3y
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.150Please respect copyright.PENANAFWhhj0vK4P

Weave the personal with transparent thread,150Please respect copyright.PENANAutIOHSzifs
The professional with thickest red yarn.150Please respect copyright.PENANAQG0N5xnuMO
150Please respect copyright.PENANA185yXlsXCO
I'll search for an agent when it is done,150Please respect copyright.PENANAaj9R85fr0I
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,150Please respect copyright.PENANAvyauPmZeCV
