The Artist- A Farewell to the Great J. Barkey

Eccentric
Inspiring
Mentor
He is an awkward yet funny artist from the mountains of Peru.
He is a lover of music, painting, and recently sculpting too.
He has taught me many things over the years.
I know I am not the only one who will say goodbye with tears.
But somethings must come to an end.
A setting sun , a light around a bend.
New journeys lay ahead.
Written before us.
A trail along mountains , valleys , and creek beds.
But we all will remember the times we've had.
Some happy some sad.
The art room band , The Barceloni family gathering, and many others.
The art room, was always a place to go and be free.
Free to express, to write, and to create without scrutiny.
With heavy heart and deep sigh, I write these words of remembrance to thee J. Barkey.
