To the Ones Who Go

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Every once and a while, or more often than one wants to admit, they need a bit of a mental vacay. Right now is that time for me. See you soon! 🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
Serenity sings
As I float inward
To the far reaches of
Outer space
Surrounding a singularity
That had a pernicious pull.
 
Still existing—
Voids seldom vanish—
Gravity’s gargantuan grab
Is gone.
 
Glide—
I glide with glee.
Glory is given
To the ones who go.
 
Forth from fear
Venture boldly those who,
Without a pandering pause,
Seek veritas ex intus.
 
The scale of certainty—
Certainly outweighed—
Tips in favor of choreography
Created by crawfish
Reeling under rocks.
 
It seems—
Hiding not an option—
Playing the game
Consumes the ghosts.
 
I am no haunt.
I am a guide
Given the retroactive roadmap
To gnothi—
Not gnostic—
But general gnosis given
To all
With an open eye.
 
Clarity is certainty’s demise.

    Knowledge and the truth will set you free. Salvation by knowledge. The black hole where gravity is so strong that not even light (knowledge) can escape. A very thoughtful write.

            Boohoo! I don't have the foggiest idea of themes of some cryptic poems. LOL. Could this be related to Popeye anyhow?!

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              Yes. This is the part where the TV static turns black and the spinach moldy. 🤮🤣

              • orchidee

                If the spinach turns moldy and he can't eat it, we know the truth about Popeye! heehee.

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  The question is...how does one see mold on something that looks like mold vomited? Good question, no? 🤮🤣
