Autobiography

Rating: 5.0


Once I was

Then I was Harley

Then I was Harley being Harley

Then I was Harley being Harley being Harley

Then I was no longer Harley... I was Harley White

Then I was Harley White being Harley White

Then I was Harley White being Harley White being Harley White

Then I was no longer Harley White... but I was still Harley White

Then I was Harley White not being Harley White

Then I was Harley White not being Harley White being Harley White

Then I was no longer Harley White not being Harley White

Then I was Harley White

Then I was Harley

Now I am beginning

to be

I’m gald I read this again, our transitions through life is ever changing our mindset..perspectives and goals, in fact I see this poem in a different light, I think I like all the Harley’s and Whites....and as her poetry evolves.. I continue to be amazed at the uniqueness of Harley White...both past and present
