Chicago River

City pictures on your water,
 buildings are pushing banks.
 You are washing them with tide,
 then adoring them as ribbon.
 
You are moving with affection -
 carrying city as reflection.
 Boats with tourists are passing
 with the rays of warming sun.
 
You remember running prairies,
 bowing bridges standing lone –
 glassy buildings now stand strong.
 
Misty lasting quiet landscape.
 Trees are standing on your sideways
 and the people look with joy.
