Landslide

Suzanne Mondoux · 9 June 2020

I hold myself in the vision of where I’ll land I listen to the rustling of the trees for what I want to learn So fast this life from years to years How is it we live day to day instead My finest hour was the landslide of what was said and done

So fine this moment to so love you All came crumbling down on you and me It was a very fine day All light soaked in sorrow and doubt Our landslide moment to me and you Hmm, so grand this day, never to forget

Are you ready to cease all sleep and dig our bodies out of this mess This is no party, this is shaking it up instead to rise out of our ashes Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life Hmm, Whoa, Whoa, Hmm Reach high, scratch your way out, do what you must

Keep that fire in your gut, seek for no freedom This is a tricky place we find you and me Buried deep beneath the rubble of painful words So we cried, so what, what a moment Hmm, so grand our landslide, Hmm, Whoa

Too deep to reach in and remove us from us This world filled with so many of us Together we crouch in our wreckage Ruined forever in this mess Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life

Fragments remain and rough stones filled the space Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life So our dream has come true Real to each other, no more painful words Hmm, so grand this landslide moment of our life
