Float
Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen.
I didn’t want to let them see me weep,
I didn’t want to let them see me weak,
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone.
“I needed you
To love me too.
I wait for your move.”
All the love, all the love,
All the love we should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love you could have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love…
Lyrics by the wonderful Kate Bush
My Mothers favorite bird. She is not here with me anymore, but when I see a hummingbird she is…...

Daniela M. Cas...
Laurie, this is awesome!
I’m also very fond of hummingbirds and have a lot of works with them… they represent for me a little messenger, bringing a little hope and beauty into sometime dark times…
I love this work of yours….
Laurie McClave replied
Daniela I feel the same! love the Hummingbirds, such amazing birds!
Holly Ringland
you are one talented lady laurie… i found you almost a year ago through bellmusker’s obsession with your ‘i love my shoes’ piece (which is on my wall too). the hummingbird is also my mother’s favourite… so this piece hit my heart with a sledgehammer. for a while now i have been enamored by the blue birds in your work. every piece, is a fairytale i feel like i haven’t read before and get to unwrap for the first time… and when i lose myself in them, it’s the best place to be. you have a really unique style and have been such a wonder to find here on the bubble. so thanks for sharing x
Laurie McClave replied
