I’m On A Platform

Suzanne Mondoux · 18 August 2020

Here I am standing tall and bright Looking forward and into the light I like the sound of the silent all around I’m a on a platform of the ride of my life

No two birds the same fly by with wingspans as wide as the sky With ease they glide into the horizon, into the center of the sun It’s neither day, neither night I’m in between the moon rise and the sun rise I’m on a platform of the end of a life

A new life arises, a new moon rise and new sun rise Where in the circle of life am I How did I begin, how did I end I’m on a road leading me onto a platform where I’ve never been A bird returns and lands on my head

There is no sound, no light ahead The bird waits for the rise of the new moon and the new sun Wait in this moment, sang the bird My feet feel wet I’m in the sea I’m on a platform with no beginning or end

A peacock floats by, a second and a third And on and on they fill the sea To my surprise I’m walking on water To my surprise I’m on platform where no man has gone before And I’m still alive and doing well So magnificent is my life So magnificent is the ride of my life
