Work, wife, parents with health issues, now gone,26Please respect copyright.PENANAThhq7T0fOT
Back burners full of overflowing pots,26Please respect copyright.PENANACSo9Hc65GZ
The sands of time quickly sifting through my fingers.26Please respect copyright.PENANAtX7h7siY2q

26Please respect copyright.PENANA2CEKJVckqz
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,26Please respect copyright.PENANAY1cKeQDCNK
But not not written down to pass down my truth,26Please respect copyright.PENANAASh1VeOcS6
About things I know much more than I'd like,26Please respect copyright.PENANAEdTgbFIH6Z
And others should learn, in old age and youth.26Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q0Z2KK8zY
26Please respect copyright.PENANAHzGl5g3XUy
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,26Please respect copyright.PENANA5hAIVsNrQ4
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,26Please respect copyright.PENANAP1p7Wm0O6N
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,26Please respect copyright.PENANAV8xxFKhJRq
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.26Please respect copyright.PENANAnuXv6uEHMy
26Please respect copyright.PENANArugxcbkSld

Nearly nine thousand words today for just,26Please respect copyright.PENANAI1XlqTHgEz
One day's events that sowed a thousand seeds,26Please respect copyright.PENANAE8tRcrhd1l
That sprouted, flourished and died or were pecked,26Please respect copyright.PENANAVhL7mkuTh4
By hungry vultures out of existence.26Please respect copyright.PENANAUWzz4OS6qq
26Please respect copyright.PENANA8QOGxC6Ihs
Remembering a day in my career,26Please respect copyright.PENANAPVjPQQAtHL
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,26Please respect copyright.PENANARKuthxBycL
And had not opened doors I could not close,26Please respect copyright.PENANAabEEBFprNL
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.26Please respect copyright.PENANAvPkBJcNbqK
26Please respect copyright.PENANAqmw9GN7mIt
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,26Please respect copyright.PENANAgt3G9jPEkC
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,26Please respect copyright.PENANABwNdhjBxZH
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,26Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fc1tpWFVW
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.26Please respect copyright.PENANA04PFDdIFwR
26Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7kT9RRSoU
The painful memories I now drown in,26Please respect copyright.PENANAXAY1KYhAng

Weave the personal with transparent thread,26Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5IA96lWhA
The professional with thickest red yarn.26Please respect copyright.PENANAuD55FIo83V
26Please respect copyright.PENANADeGgWATuao
I'll search for an agent when it is done,26Please respect copyright.PENANAseT4FW1G0Q
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,26Please respect copyright.PENANA3VqX1AJlay
And I believe it will find a market,26Please respect copyright.PENANABOVUxQT73q
For it will reveal some essential truths.26Please respect copyright.PENANA06q7QW0V6H
