Paris

we found it on a map.
there were words and pictures shared about that sacred place.
flights were booked.
flights were canceled.
some planes made it all the way, some crashed and were never found.
some people decided alpine was safer and didn't even check for a flight out of this place we've all called home.


there are some beautifully broken souls that have taken on Paris as if it was theirs from the very start.
those souls will never return.
those souls have found a place where they actually feel at home.


french is being spoken fluently.
english is broken in our utah bubble where we don't even pronounce the "t" in mountain.
those fluent french speakers have mastered their words in the language of their hearts.


Paris has been ignored.
Paris has been imagined.
Paris has been viewed.
Paris has been inhaled.
Paris has been stolen.

  1. That whole bottom paragraph though. It is the epitome of Paris.
