Bonjour... I have just returned from a month in France and spent time in my beloved Paris... here is a short collection of some words I wrote about Paris and the people I met there.. I hope you enjoy them..' PARIS Paris is a feeling This I know too well It stays with you It lingers close It's there when day breaks thru The people are its essence They are proud and warm and free They always say 'bonjour' And I'm pleased they let me be 'me'... PARIS - MY PARIS My thoughts for you remain the same Each time I return I find you more beautiful than before Each time I leave I offer a piece of my heart For you to keep safe until I see you again Stay well fair maiden and continue to be the city of light shining brightly for your patrons... MILOUD Miloud sits at the bar He has warm eyes and a soft smile His quietness is appealing as he sips his cafe And smokes his cigarettes I think he has a sadness in him that seeps out thru his eyes 'parfois' And 'parfois' I think he knows I see this... (parfois = sometimes) MUSTAPHA I have a friend called Mustapha Though he prefers just 'Mus' His heart seems filled with gladness And he likes to eat CousCous His patrons just adore him For his kind and caring ways He is helpful and respectful And greets them warmly each day He has 'tres beau yeux' That sparkle with his smile And I'm hoping he will be my friend For a long while... (tres beau yeux = very nice eyes) SAID (Saeed) Said is strong and silent He very rarely smiles But when he does Your day becomes brighter And you go about with his smile Planted firmly in your mind... Be kind at heart....for everyone you meet has their own battle to fight......... |

absolutely a grand, lovely-fine write! [I'm sure you have experienced those grand moments when the Parisian light is that marvelous rose color?!] light falling on surfaces...what painting, of course, is all about... but, also what leaves the quintessential 'lasting impressions' of places in time...in our memories (and, what I also try to capture in that geologic/travel series of 'writes' I have been adding to on occasion) serious, sustained applause for this 'write'! |

R & B...enjoyed your french pleasure. would be fun to take you down one of the dirt roads of the sierra's sometime...the trees have names and personalities..but it the lonely of the roads that moan their music. |
