Shirley Corrigan Poem
My vantage point is clear and true,
The scene below…….. it gives me pause.
I watch the waves roll to and fro,
Constant and Ephemeral.
All around me, and in the distance,
Foliage, sand, rocks, sea and sky.
The motion that is so perpetual, yet
Constantly Ephemeral.
Light and space, openness,
Distance, silence, isolation.
Tiny figures in a captured space,
Constant and Ephemeral.
What is the plan, or is there none?
How can I find Continual?
I have to trust, this must be enough
To give me Hope……
Through the Constantly Ephemeral……

Shirley Corrigan Poem
Life......
Water......
Air.......
Colours.........
Light.......
Hope........
What are these?
BUOYANT EXPECTANCY!
This Babe in the womb, floating in water,
In a world filled with Silence ....
Sweet, undoubting, gentle Silence,
She’s connected to the breath of her mother.
She waits with peace and serenity
Trying movement, blowing bubbles
Blessed with angels, gentle heartbeats,
Happy and sanguine,
Full of confidence and hope.....What are these?
Buoyant Expectancy!
Out in the world now, self-assured, strong, undoubting,
Many years have gone by, and there is no more floating.
Trust and Conviction, Enlightenment and Passion,
She has finally discovered them
And she breathes them, Yes! She holds them!
One day in the garden, while watering and feeling,
She wanted to “rain” on the tops of the trees.
With fun-filled, happy laughter,
She looked up at the magic shower
And discovered her own Rainbow in the Sun and the Leaves!!
Life, Water, Air, Colours, Light, Hope.....All of these
Give joy and enchantment, new beginnings and enhancement,
Confidence, watchfulness, gentle inner silence,
Safety, resilience, soaring love, no resistance.....
Trusting,
Buoyant Expectancy.
