Jumping from
the Skyline
to the Clouds

Janet Kuypers
7/26/13

Joining commuters
driving
toward the Chicago Loop,

I watched
majestic skyscrapers
frame the skyline,

as I witnessed
over Lake Michigan
early morning clouds —

thin at the top
each cloud looked like
a snow-capped mountain,

framing this flat-land city,
surrounding the skyscraper skyline
with that sun-kissed stratosphere.

The clouds almost looked
like shadowed drawings,
touched by the hand of God.
