April in Paris

April in Paris

What is more
Paradigmatic
Than April in Paris
Inspiration of much
Song and dance
Count Basie
His refrain
One More Once
Not letting go
So impossible
All wrapped up
Our heart of hearts
Now my niece
Ashleigh in Paris
A great adventure
Of which she shares
Nary a word
Locked away
A deep secret
Hidden in her
Heart of darkness
Place where
None enters
Without an
Invitation
Perhaps shared
For decades to come
In her twilight years
Little old lady
Fragile and fair
Over tea
À la recherche
du temps perdu

When I was
Oh so young
That enchanting
April in Paris
La vie en Rose
