seen in a different light

The days are cool and blue and windy ............. like a day I remember in the leafy streets of Paris.
Close your eyes and imagine you're a stranger here ......... in this your homeland.......
now open them ................ what do you see ?
see the street with the eyes of a stranger .........
how quaint the corner house looks, with its black and white 2 storey terrace ........ and that tree just so, shading it ............ doesnt it look just like a street in an old swiss town in summer ............ ..... now feel the air .........oh, isnt it just as hot as a hot summer day burns your skin in Zurich ?
See your land with the eyes of a stranger ............... pretend you have never seen this lane before ............ then will you exclaim (over it) .......... and feel its unfamiliarity, .........as though this is another land , ...................................., where loneliness fills your heart, where your friends are few or nil, ........................ , ............................. stranger in a strange land, feel the sharpness of your pain, ................ in a land where you have left your beloved behind ............................ shiver in the coldness of ice that forms ........ around your heart.
