My largest show ever is now at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland-15 paintings!

(It’s located around the corner from the ER right across from the auditorium)

Big thank you to Kathy Feek who made this possible!

When I see you
and I know that you hurt,
I wish I could give you
A magical shirt,
That would take away
All of your ills,
better than any
of the prescription pills.

Why do you care?
Aren't you aware,
That I don't belong
And it won't be long,
When I am free,
To just be me.
No music to dance to,
No reporting to do,
For I will only,
Think about you.

When day is done and the Sun has set,
A glass of wine in hand and yet,
The memories of those days gone by,
May bring a tear to my eye.
Remembering the first time that we met,
Brings back an emotion, I won't forget.

We had a great moment, yesterday,
When all troubles and sorrow,
Were laughed, far away.
The magic of laughter, dearest friend,
As I am happy to say,
Should be something we reach for
During every time of the day.
It's the joy from our loving
That is here to stay.

The Wind gallops, swiftly, down through the trees.
It's a strong wind, not really a breeze.
The Wind around Ellensburg, bends all it sees.
Arriving in the early morning, not saying please,
But comes uninvited to our face, arms and knees,
Bringing Top Soil and brush, like a disease.

So my friend, it's a quarter to three.
I arose from my bed so I could see
The wind blowing hard, into my tree.
The limbs did shimmy and did flutter.
Thank God my heart did not shudder,
As gust after gust, rattled my abode,
from rain on the winds coattails it rode.

My lonely days are gone.
I know not where.
The night is upon us
With darkness everywhere.
The Dawn peeks in the window
As the Sunlight glares,
Except for that hidden spot,
Underneath the back stairs.
A place, where, as a child
I would hide away
With my imaginary friend,
Who I did play.
