Analysis of A Portrait of Paris
Beautiful, like a portrait of Paris
Her strength will be in my running shoes
Her compassion through my hands
Her forgiveness my every thawing out
the petals falling down
Her splendor with every breath I take
To learn a way to love myself
and steel like covers round
I trace the lines of her embrace
to find the means to not erase
The solid in my ground
