Chicago Lights
A view of Chicago from the 23rd floor.
Chicago – Illinois – USA
My heart thrives under city lights,
My dreams are born on city nights,
I am a child of the golden street lamps,
I am a child of the city.
When I see the midnight people, walking by,
Or the silver moon, ridiing high
I know I am where I long to be…
I know I belong in the city.
Diamonds are glittering on my fingers,
When the sound of midnight softly lingers,
It seems like nothing ever sleeps!
When I am awake in the city.

sort of….born in Southern Illinois and we lived in a Southside suburb, moving away when i was only 8….but we go back whenever we can, and as an adult i adore Chicago!! but still bummed about those Cubs…..
UmbieArt replied
I have only recently discovered the beauty of Chicago even though I have lived in the western suburbs for many years. I guess it took awhile for a country boy from Wisconsin to become more comfortable in the big city. I blame my camera for the change… :) – Mike
