Snapped thru the art gallery window in the very windy town of Bluff by Mitch Hicks. I did not see the name of the artist of this dark forboding painting. I dedicate this poem to the late Shirley Ballard who passed away this week and much loved by Lisa Thayer
Shirley Ballard 1925 – 2012
Actress and Miss California 1944
Life be can full of sunshine
Death comes as torment
Friendship drives compassion
For Lisa and Shirley they were of different times
Blending past with present
New tricks to learn
Sorrow breaks as the midnight tide slips away
She made you smile Lisa despite decay

Thank you for your heart & words Mitch…XXX
