Watery Reflections

7 October 2009 – Fort Worden State Park
Musings from the entrance to Puget Sound - while we had finally reached sea level, many more miles and mountains lay ahead...


Standing atop a bluff overlooking the sound,
we watch the moon rise.

Below us the tide rhythmically laps
at the shore -
each wave the steady tick of a clock drawing us backward
through the days of our journey -
reflections on the trials and challenges receding behind us.

The waves crash on the beach
overlap with those before,
blur the rhythm,
melt memories together.

The chill on the wind moves us forward.
