Written for my dear friend Julie who creates beauty and sanctuary everywhere she goes

lyrics

Hummingbirds

Wings so fast that I can’t see ‘em - Beauty makes me hold my breath
I am here … don’t know the reason - May be its some kind of test

Hummingbirds and things with wings that all need time and space
Fragile hearts seek honey and a special kind of grace

Love so big that I can’t hold it - My arms can’t reach around the whole of you
Origami heart … just let me fold it - Put it in my pocket … take it home a night or two

Hummingbirds and fragile hearts are stronger than we seem
Always taking chances and slippin’ in that stream

Star so bright I almost lost it - Had to look away to see it clear
Can we agree to stand in awe and wonder? - Make our way in love and set aside our tears

Hummingbird, she knows the sky is, oh, so grand
And still it holds her gently like the heart that’s in your hands

Can we be hummingbirds
Oh, can we be hummingbirds

Heart so true, I must believe it - Beauty makes me breathe a silent sigh
Sky so vast and I don’t fear it - So, do you remember how to fly?

Hummingbird, she knows the sky is, oh, so grand
And still it holds her gently like the hearts within our hands

Can we be hummingbirds
Oh, can we be hummingbirds
I want to be a hummingbird

Portals
by Sharon Knight

supported by 4 fans who also own “Hummingbirds”

Portals is an apt name. Sharon doesn't make music, so much as sonic worlds the listener is transported to. I close my eyes when Crimson Masquerade plays & I see the story play out. I see flashes of other lives & a rouge offering a woman the chance to live adventures untold.... If she's willing to pay the cost. " Let the Waters Rise" feels like a command coming from witches working their will. TimTTT
