In this autobiographical work.136Please respect copyright.PENANAxZEqfaglRc
136Please respect copyright.PENANAUsY1E7p1yO
Life got in the way of reliving it,136Please respect copyright.PENANA0kAXvzm1np
Work, wife, parents with health issues, now gone,136Please respect copyright.PENANALWpNG9ivcQ
Back burners full of overflowing pots,136Please respect copyright.PENANAQg7Rvfqis3
The sands of time quickly sifting through my fingers.136Please respect copyright.PENANAhCqy567b5Y

136Please respect copyright.PENANA7lWJHuz1fx
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,136Please respect copyright.PENANAdYMlLoeezn
But not not written down to pass down my truth,136Please respect copyright.PENANAUBb7Gr2l9B
About things I know much more than I'd like,136Please respect copyright.PENANA48Svp6hAJB
And others should learn, in old age and youth.136Please respect copyright.PENANASMGuaeFUe8
136Please respect copyright.PENANAU1LlPSLs1f
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,136Please respect copyright.PENANAgjPlhNnyO4
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,136Please respect copyright.PENANAKR0EO5Hch4
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,136Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ftO63PXN
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.136Please respect copyright.PENANAbpJ8tbDOkX
136Please respect copyright.PENANAq00hGFZsCj
So I'm back again, reliving the past,136Please respect copyright.PENANArqpdX7FGvV
In memory still green, though browning in parts,136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1BmSsHaCI
Taking poetic license where I must,136Please respect copyright.PENANAcVSn4p8By8
But gently as a child's butterfly kiss.136Please respect copyright.PENANAHNz0LaS7kv
136Please respect copyright.PENANAvqFajT6y3R
Nearly nine thousand words today for just,136Please respect copyright.PENANAlVndUB1rW1
One day's events that sowed a thousand seeds,136Please respect copyright.PENANAj9tJHMLN5i
That sprouted, flourished and died or were pecked,136Please respect copyright.PENANAU7Yw8a02ra
By hungry vultures out of existence.136Please respect copyright.PENANAPr1DoYzH23
136Please respect copyright.PENANAsojDa1ydHf
Remembering a day in my career,136Please respect copyright.PENANA7GYCL3D33y
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,136Please respect copyright.PENANAxulqtIxpjw
And had not opened doors I could not close,136Please respect copyright.PENANAVx4E93pOYm
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.136Please respect copyright.PENANA7qGhrIKfCP
136Please respect copyright.PENANAm0K1w9r1Ie
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,136Please respect copyright.PENANAGbx7hAn6UN
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,136Please respect copyright.PENANANMzj2hCCxB
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,136Please respect copyright.PENANAXmYQlXjAnk
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.136Please respect copyright.PENANApoTq0DUndx
136Please respect copyright.PENANA3FkCAK009n
The painful memories I now drown in,136Please respect copyright.PENANAOMhESeFEct
I will not disclose. The pain I've given,136Please respect copyright.PENANAwnrPChtpjJ

To protect myself and those I have loved.136Please respect copyright.PENANA067tyhDtNp
136Please respect copyright.PENANA28A5dYxaRp
I'll limit my journey to work alone,136Please respect copyright.PENANAnNuQSZ4xeO
Describe what I've learned that others should know,136Please respect copyright.PENANA6ipBsXmiWL
Weave the personal with transparent thread,136Please respect copyright.PENANAVCQVQ44TqD
The professional with thickest red yarn.136Please respect copyright.PENANAuRTZ1BBOuo
136Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ6uFIcjO0
I'll search for an agent when it is done,136Please respect copyright.PENANALYFciKLhL0
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,136Please respect copyright.PENANAWRMxqL7Prh
And I believe it will find a market,136Please respect copyright.PENANAYHKz8UGP8x
For it will reveal some essential truths.136Please respect copyright.PENANAOGC1ew4XiI
136Please respect copyright.PENANANhTujuwgpK
It will teach much more that all need to know,136Please respect copyright.PENANAKFbNGyuD80
Than my life's work: Lectures, books, articles,136Please respect copyright.PENANAkuh8g4NF6x
Poetry, fiction, blogs, presentations,136Please respect copyright.PENANAXTFFnZedhg
Hope I can write it before my life ends.136Please respect copyright.PENANApxkWSvDc7J
