Nd On the Seine

On the grandeur of the sprawling front garden the Parisian sun rising on the sparkling Seine casts designed shadow of the bygone centuries, enshrined in the medieval cathedral, Notre Dame. She stands witness of many a turning event of French history and inspired many authors. A unique icon of French Gothic architecture, has place of pride in world heritage treasure. The rows of chandeliers shimmering overhead, the burst of colors on stained glass rose windows illuminate the idyllic archway of divine tranquility, its aura guiding the surrealistic walk to the altar. The fire that burnt the roof and the oak spire she will take on her strides like she did before. Resurrected, she will rise from the ashes anew, regain her lost splendor and glory once again. I once marveled at her beauty in the twilight glow as the golden Seine glided past quietly me and her. The captivating view lingers on after so many years, I know she will look the same when I see her again. May 5, 2019
