Finding 'Paris'


Who doesn't want to go to Paris, right? But, what if...



Imagine if the towers that taunt us from overseas
Were really just the flowers and the wind-tossed summer trees
Imagine if The Louvre or the castles flanking streams
Became the satisfaction of bare feet splashing through dreams
And Time were a gondola, we its passengers abroad
And overcome with wonder at the scenes which Present lauds
Then we would be quite humbled; second-think our discontent
If we found our ‘Paris’ in the Now that Time has lent
