Paris

There's a world outside my little square window

that overlooks fields and woodlands and sunsets

and that world overlooks a bustling avenue with

shutters on windows and constant, humming traffic.

There's a world outside my little square window

that keeps wakes me with the same sun every morning

and the same old singing birds,

and that world rouses me with a different kind of music;

of people and chatter and busking and life.

There's a world outside my little square window,

a world I would never have been tired of exploring,

and that world is named Paris.

Notes

Another one I wrote in Paris. It really is a beautiful city, mesmerising in fact, it was difficult not to write millions of poems so there may be quite a few Paris themed poems in the future but let's say this is the last one for today.
