On the edge of the freshest waters on earth

As vast as an ocean

On a gleaming bright day

Where the horizon fades softly into the sky

There is a city that rests

In unrest

On the shores of Lake Michigan

From the skyscrapers

Scraping away at the restless clouds

To the streets full of the city bustle

And burst

To take in the moments

From one to the next

Is the city of Chicago

From just beyond the rustbelt

Take in the moments

Every one intact
