Few years ago I peered curiously through the window
At the gothic structure that stood tall
Too close to capture the splendor in its entirety
Excitedly I began my tour of Paris to be wowed by the famed cathedral.
With tilted head I walked through her
The walls reflecting myriad hues
Each piece of glass crafted with care
A breathtaking piece of art i felt…
I woke to read she’s been ablaze
I conjure up in my mind’s eye her resplendent form
An iconic spot so dear in my heart
Ethereal place of worship up in smoke now
