I have never been to Paris
never felt cobbled streets
beneath my feet – never
seen the Eiffel tower bright
or flowers tumbling from
wooden boxes in pasteled
painted buildings – I have
never stood in a crowd
held in the lilting lyricism of
langue or had a croissant
melt buttered between my
lips but the light – the light
of Paris burns, shines and
glows within me – I too am
Paris now and always one
in solidarity and sensibility -
steadfast siblings forever ...
