This short piece is dedicated to those with no home.

The artwork that accompanies the music is an abstract expression that seeks to show the lives of the homeless as complex and vibrant.

The homeless are often depicted negatively. I wanted to create a more positive representation of those without a home. I glimpse the shape of a body here and there, a person making, another talking, another reaching out.

The beauty of shape and colour is undeniable, as is the value of each individual.

At First Sight

Like faith, the new of love at first sight brings,

A world of life uncommon, full with wondrous things.

It is a place I know as real,

Of softness, kindness, tenderness and grace,

A place of being better than the icy north of how one lives from day to day,

A place where love is first, above all else,

And love for you, despite its distant declaration shared,

I open wide my arms to meet.

Love gives you wings,

The chance to fly,

I know not where, but know for certain why,

It is the song we lucky few can hear,

The sound that shows us most alive,

The evidence of happiness so near.
