Alone In Paris

New lights,
quick tongue,
love in the hall of kings,
the eye warms with wonder
at so many things, 
yet I'm carried still, to home,
and thoughts flee to friends,
travel distracts a troubled mind,
but does not make amends.

I guess there is no place like home. I thought travel would lift up the spirit and makes one forget. Your feelings came through. Awesome.
