Puget Sound

Puget Sound

She rests now in places
     never to be known,
     seen only in the memory
     of ages
     and imagination of a child.

She stands upon stages
     never to be shown,
     learning the knowledge
     of sages,
     and the sensation of a smile.

We sift through pages
while life tells us our story,
continue to grift through mazes
til we reach our destined glory.

She swims in waters
beyond clouds and drifting stars,
In company with our spirits,
weighted by our lifting scars.

She watches from destination
     extending to us her hand.
She is now of creation,
     the legacy of God's given land.
