Must it mean the dream of the sea

has left forever

if now I must leave to live outside of that

most inside of me,

that home of homes that named me,

that sent me coursing

over waves, above the shifting

tides, even the rivers within the sea.

Fr. Kevin Burke, SJ

Only now, I see, I must live, outside the inside

and inside the outside, Both.

And where home has lost its way, my way of the sea

may bring her back, bring home back to home.
