136Please respect copyright.PENANAFhVkWGzaiY
Life got in the way of reliving it,136Please respect copyright.PENANAPeX8269TmI
Work, wife, parents with health issues, now gone,136Please respect copyright.PENANAT6gFiq2J10
Back burners full of overflowing pots,136Please respect copyright.PENANAVnOFB3U036
The sands of time quickly sifting through my fingers.136Please respect copyright.PENANA4WRphNV0j4
136Please respect copyright.PENANAKooqd2Hh8X

136Please respect copyright.PENANA15Ybzg3bbf
My story untold, lessons learned unfurled,136Please respect copyright.PENANA90PMqpmR5k
But not not written down to pass down my truth,136Please respect copyright.PENANA5VfjiEJ6WB
About things I know much more than I'd like,136Please respect copyright.PENANAf9eMl0FsS6
And others should learn, in old age and youth.136Please respect copyright.PENANA6nJm3ec9eH
136Please respect copyright.PENANA2UDnYGchNo
Place bound for now on an imposed lockdown,136Please respect copyright.PENANA2LaTJKIRsY
Chained to my desk like galley slaves to oars,136Please respect copyright.PENANACwWYz2eisW
Taping lectures, attending Zoom meetings,136Please respect copyright.PENANAas8mOXzW4F
Depression abounds, if not joy or sleep.136Please respect copyright.PENANAYvZTm82GPB
136Please respect copyright.PENANAHxZeyQi4TC
So I'm back again, reliving the past,136Please respect copyright.PENANADuehY3Dbjh
In memory still green, though browning in parts,136Please respect copyright.PENANAoBjMySxdBk
Taking poetic license where I must,136Please respect copyright.PENANAA2wUaALXDI
But gently as a child's butterfly kiss.136Please respect copyright.PENANAN4ZUkHfA5v
136Please respect copyright.PENANAJQrL5cldYH
Nearly nine thousand words today for just,136Please respect copyright.PENANAYNpSl39O9p
One day's events that sowed a thousand seeds,136Please respect copyright.PENANAjqI3Fehski
That sprouted, flourished and died or were pecked,136Please respect copyright.PENANAlzndvs5Q7G
By hungry vultures out of existence.136Please respect copyright.PENANA13m8gbAOQH
136Please respect copyright.PENANAJz2QnVYXSb
Remembering a day in my career,136Please respect copyright.PENANA0dlb8KxkVd
When I still viewed the world with bright, clear eyes,136Please respect copyright.PENANA6649ANW3sD
And had not opened doors I could not close,136Please respect copyright.PENANAgFbBEa2M1n
Or walked by closed doors I should have opened.136Please respect copyright.PENANANdHLroaa4m
136Please respect copyright.PENANACbRoBpM1wn
My world and heart were then innocent, pure,136Please respect copyright.PENANApKlOAX0hBh
Full of good intentions waiting to burst,136Please respect copyright.PENANATurKtd9eIX
From a chest that could hardly hold them back,136Please respect copyright.PENANAcsz14JEbob
Foolishly thinking they could change the world.136Please respect copyright.PENANAQl2knLTh71
136Please respect copyright.PENANAuRwIs1YEUK
The painful memories I now drown in,136Please respect copyright.PENANAKjRKj7a6uB
I will not disclose. The pain I've given,136Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3SlwgJfva
The pain I've received, I'll whitewash away,136Please respect copyright.PENANAZBbObuxPjC
To protect myself and those I have loved.136Please respect copyright.PENANADaRDKKUPLJ
136Please respect copyright.PENANA59Dd47Tuh8
I'll limit my journey to work alone,136Please respect copyright.PENANA9QGlcpe8On
Describe what I've learned that others should know,136Please respect copyright.PENANATuJniulYqx
Weave the personal with transparent thread,136Please respect copyright.PENANAjF8BZpVNl4
The professional with thickest red yarn.136Please respect copyright.PENANAvLerhVrKdL
136Please respect copyright.PENANA1vtCaOjEoN
I'll search for an agent when it is done,136Please respect copyright.PENANATqJRcgtiTQ
As I'd like it read, unlike indie books,136Please respect copyright.PENANAB9yFqQXKLk
And I believe it will find a market,136Please respect copyright.PENANAv9omM95GI6
For it will reveal some essential truths.136Please respect copyright.PENANADCQYjPdtkS
136Please respect copyright.PENANAWW7IUL87Bu
It will teach much more that all need to know,136Please respect copyright.PENANA3N4Xc72Eto
Than my life's work: Lectures, books, articles,136Please respect copyright.PENANA2WEGsFbBys
Poetry, fiction, blogs, presentations,136Please respect copyright.PENANA48OJ2VZpbR
Hope I can write it before my life ends.136Please respect copyright.PENANA5L39srpBqZ
