Tristan Robert Lange

The Gauntlet

Wisdom given to those who walk

Illusions to their natural conclusions—

Leaving behind the façade of fakery—

Deliberately leaving their masks to their fate.

Every soul who sings God’s sonnet songs

Runs through the gauntlet of self-discovery.

Never fear what you see on the outside.

Every wilderness is a wonder to behold.

Some people fear what they may find.

Some, fewer still, embrace and intertwine.
