This Is Paris

This is Paris
Is more than a city
It is a feeling
It’s a place one goes to feel magic
A place that touches one’s heart and never leaves
A place to go and touch history
and a place to marvel at all that is there
A place that dances like a gentle muse
Whether one fancies monuments like the Eiffel Tower or just a quiet walk down a street
It is all special and sublime
But perhaps the most special thing is to be there when it rains
To watch the people moving to and fro while the rain gently washes the city while sipping a cup of coffee in a local cafe
This is Paris
