my goals.
...and what are the words one uses to describe a compilation?, works from my entire life?, fifty years of carrying around a yellow pad?, fifty years of writing and rewriting, changing the words, as their meanings change for me?
These pieces are extracted from my book of prose, “50 truths and 50 lies, the first 50 years.” Available Here
my goals. belongs to the following groups:
Masterpieces: Literary Workshop and
WMG
my goals must always stay unobtainable.
that’s the only way they remain my goals,
‘stead they’d be called my regrets,
and such a fine line it is.
committed to their needs i struggle,
obligated for them to be my future,
not my past.
my goals are my hope,
never my anguish.
my tomorrow,
never my yesterday.
my next,
never my last.
my future,
never my past.
