I think that when we are lost it’s good to have a yearning for home and to be found

It keeps us from going too far I suppose and we shouldn’t want to go beyond reach

But there is a place between the shore and the deep sea where there is so much life

That it explodes in a maelstrom of light and colour and bright shapes in infinite variety

And we can only get there when we push past some of the waves and lose our feet

And I think the reef is where we meet up with the parts of ourselves not often seen

It’s good to go out from shore and it’s good to stay in sight of it at the same time

Because when we know where home is we can return and tell stories about the edge

Please come back with us little traveller when we go exploring out there

We always need to find our way home
