Lyricist - Author, Poet Suzanne Mondoux - SONGS / POEMS OF THE DAY January 2020

Sun rises into the dusty sky The moon aside to say good bye A new day A new dream Hello today I’m here to stay

You can find me where I am meant to be Right here Over there Everywhere

Come find me A new day awaits Together one people One nation Human Beings for each other

I am Animal Being Sometimes I struggle Human Beings see me Sometime they don’t I am Animal Being A Being, a life, I breath I live in the jungle, the sea, your home Look me in the eyes Feel what you see I am Animal Being I disappear you die You disappear I live I am mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish, insect and human Part of the same kingdom Beings – Life

Joyous expansion for all A moment of glee In between tears and sorrow Growth and discovery of the soul Say hello to a new you in every moment To know you To be you Only you decide

You capture yourself in a moment Tense and frightened Alone and isolated You raise your head Face the light inside your heart Amen to you --- it’s you Only you decide

Your soul expands Joyous expansion I walk with you and take your hand I am you You are I Only you decide the extent of your joyous expansion

Today I plant the seed of me Real, authentic, genuine A raindrop feeds my soul I gather momentum I find my way All life grows All life transforms A risk embraced I plant the seed of me To be me To know me To discover me No matter what comes and goes Let it go Let it come Let it be I plant the seed of me Peace I embrace Harmony with ‘I’ – the seed of me A raindrop feeds my soul

The colour of the day is you In the love that you show me In the kisses that you give me The way you hold me Only you

The colour of the day is you Only you In a moment The day is new

The way that I move with you When you hold my hand We waltz Our feet barely touch the ground I lean into you Only you

The colour of the day is you I love you

Sweet surrender to self Enjoy who you are Let go and have fun Feel yourself dancing Feel yourself laughing No regrets It’s ok to be free and wild Let your hair down and smile Smile a lot Smile just for the sake of smiling Be you It’s ok

This love song is for you

This love song is for you my friend Your heart in mind Your arms reach wide I lean into you with each embrace I hold you closely in my heart I love my dear old friend

Hmm, whoa, hmm, whoa This love song is for you my friend Only a love song for you

We laughed so well together We really played as children do My dear old friend I love you This love song is for you

So short the time I had with you I see you from the corner of my eye Smiling at me, helping me along the way I’ve lived a fine life You would have laughed at me all the way

This love song is for you Hmm, hmm, whoa, whoa Only you my friend found me out In the depth of your soul I could let go In the depth of your heart I could love you so

This love song is for you For you my friend For you and only you

Vision of self in the mirror is but one reflection See how you look from the inside out See how you feel from the inside out Decide your emotions It’s in you to make each emotional decision Outside of you is just that --- outside of you Let others decide for themselves – not for you Feel the image of yourself reflected back at you It is you the world wants to see

A playful moment An opportunity A simple moment An opportunity A quiet moment An opportunity

Everything you need is here Everything you want is done Everything is you searching for that feeling It is there for you in every moment In every breath A sign of life

A sign of life given to you Life gives life An opportunity in every breath Just for you Your life

Tell me what I know I’ll tell you who I am Tell me who I am I’ll show you who I am Perceive me in your own image I’ll crumble and fall before your eyes It’s not me you are seeing It is you

Let yourself get unhinged A moment of insane ecstasy Freeing yourself from bondage Social bondage Religious bondage Peer bondage All bondage What can go wrong Everything Fantastic Lunacy Click, Cling, Clank Chains unravel Dragged behind Dropped Fear Worry Unknown Discovery Exploration Ascending Unhinge once and for all

Balance Desire Expectation What you want Is Believe and you receive Remain true to you Rough waters before you Remain true to you Offenses made against you Remain true to you Sticks and Stones right at you Remain true to you Step forward Towards you Remnants of you Say thank you All of you, is you True to you Fragmented no more

All the joy you search for can be found in a size of teacup All the love you desire can be known in the love that you give freely All the life you desire can be experienced in a single breath That’s all for now – in the now Release for just a moment Blissful Bliss – delicious Delicious – I want more Release for just a moment

You move with the wind Your entire face smiles I love you Your voice sooths me From Rock n Roll to Opera You wiggle with delight You scream with passion The mic wants more I want more We all want more You sang many songs for us Then it stopped When you left this world You turned to us and smiled and said… I love you

Come on, where are you Where have you been I’ve searched everywhere for you Where did you go Why did you go I’m a lonely soul I’m a so far away from you

Come on, where are you Where did you go I’m here on my own Show me where to go

You left our love undone Our story is unfinished Frightened is a lonely soul Come on, where did you go It’s here we belong It’s here I can be found

I’m here on my own Come on, where are you

In the shadow of my soul My breath is like the receding tide No air to breath I’m alone out here In the shadow of my soul I’m here on my own

It’s all but one love story Unfinished, unfinished, unfinished

Hmm, ahhh, Hmm, La, La Hmm, ahhh, Hmm, La, La The wind in my hair Run on the beach I let me body crash into the waves So strong the current I drift and drift Each stroke reaches for the horizon Hmm, ahhh, Hmm, La, La, La The sea is dark I stare up at the stars They look down at me I smile with a twinkle in my eye I float here and there A rushing feeling of oooh la la washes over me

The stars stare down at me Oooh la, la, la, la

This rock n roll feeling I hear the drums Strumming of the guitar The violin It’s found it’s way in To the rock n roll of oooh la la Blues to opera Strip all life from me Give me hope Give me life It’s that rock n roll song that washes over me

Oooh la la la la Hmm, oooh la la

Break the strings Pierce those drums Singing cymbals all around

Crank up the radio The wind in my hair My body crash into the waves I float here and there Rock n roll keeps me afloat Opera sooths my soul Blues eases the melancholy mood Hmm, la la la, la la Music is my soul Oooh, hmm, hmmm

Calling on all people Leave us with a better world when you go Look around at the world Some have perished Some could stay It’s a world of complaints and tearing others apart This can be healed With kindness and acceptance of one another What world will you leave for your children What world do you give your children today Some will perish Some will stay Calling on all souls Make this world a better place today See all that is good See all that is possible It’s all possible We make this our world Our reality for a world available to all Calling on all people Calling on you and me You and me Together, we make this world a better place A world for all It’s possible

Playing with love Playing with life Playing, playing, playing This man is on fire A man on fire in my life Hmm, ya, hmm, ya It’s but a chance A risk I know Playing with my heart Playing with my soul Hmm, whoa, Hmm, ya The danger of his love The danger of his kiss How wrong can this be Playing with a man on fire His tender touch And sweet kiss A danger I relive What bonds me here To a man on fire A place of no beginning A place of no ending Hmm, whoa, Hmm, whoa I’m a captive of the illusion Holding me tight I struggle to let go A man on fire at my door I take his hand I’ve been here before With this man on fire I release my grip I set him free to set me free He only existed in the illusion A man on fire Hmm, whoa, Hmm, whoa I shatter the illusion to set him free Man on fire was my creation Now on my own Lonely nights drift away It’s a wonder I stayed so long No regrets, no looking back Hmm, La, la, la Whoa, La, la, la My creation My illusion No regrets, no looking back

When I see lovers laughing and holding one another I turn away I look to where I once was But when I look to close I see what I left behind It’s where I felt I didn’t belong

How wrong I was Can you forgive me

I liked to see what else could be I gave you part of me with no foundation It’s what I believed I could only give Despair in my heart

I left you with a heart broken Now I remember why You forgave me then I was not worthy

How wrong I was

My love of a lifetime ago My heart still beats for yours When I see lovers laugh and play, now I gaze I embrace from what I turned away Now I dream of us

In the shadow of my life, now I look for you I know where I belong My mind is clear, my heart is open How could I have been so wrong

I turned away from the best part of my life My inner darkness, to where I thought I once belonged How wrong I was

I forgive me, now I dream of us It’s your heart my love that brings me home I’m coming home I’m coming home

Come join the party We are here to play Bring your gal, you guy We’ll party all night Strumming our guitars and singing our songs Dance till you drop

Let your hair down Move to the beat of the drums Laugh out loud Be free as though no one is looking

Dance till you drop Join the party

Feel the ecstasy in the air You’re floating You’re gliding For now you’re mind and body are at ease

Set yourself free Dance till you drop

Tickle the ivory and sing out loud Wiggle your bottom Jiggle all around Lean into the party Rejoice rejoice rejoice

Sing out loud Laugh out loud Feel the fun Fell the music in your veins

Join the party Rejoice rejoice rejoice Dance till you drop

Speak to me softly Hold me in your arms Keep me close my darling Hmmm, my darling, hold me tenderly Never let me go Speak to me softly darling

Hmm, Whoa, Whoa Speak to me softly

Kiss me like it’s the last time you’ll ever kiss Come closer baby Let me in, let me in Speak to me softly baby I love you so Darling, softly baby, speak to me

Speak to me softly Hmm, Hmm, Whoa, Hmm,

How you can crush my soul How you can crush my heart Love can be shattered you know When you don’t speak to me softly

My darling, hmm, whoa, hmm, who Ease your words to ease my soul Stop the rage and end of the pain My darling, speak to me softly

A tender moment is all that’s needed All we desire, together our tender moments You speak to me softly Darling, speak to me softly

Hmm, whoa whoa whoa Hmm, whao, softly Softly darling
