City of Light

 

Paris, the city of love, the city of light

La Ville-Lumiere

Birthplace of the Age of Enlightenment

Here - poets, writers and artists  have found inspiration for centuries.   

Every night she glows illuminating the skyline. 

Radiant capital casting her magic spell  captivating all who walk her boulevards,  river banks and bridges.  Against the velvet night sky the lit up landmarks stand out in splendour.  

In her midst, I have a lightness of step, a lightness of mood  and oh, how I love as all lovers do.  She romances me as no other.   

At nightfall the famous Eiffel Tower  a large lighthouse a beacon shining over the city. 

I catch my breath in wonderment at the power of her blazing beams of light. 

From sunset her glittering gold  glows on the hour.   Light shows entertain the passers by, the crowds.   

Paris in the daytime is a dream

Paris in the nighttime an enchantment 

that lights up our hearts and minds. 

She romances me as no other.
