Bird's Eye View

Tristan Robert Lange

Summer sun on rocks.
A man hails my poet’s zone.
Vultures soar above.

    Beautiful and scenic and I am left wondering if those vultures circling have a meaning. Gettysburg the battlefield and a cemetary come to mind.

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Soren, I appreciate that. The moment was rea...sun on stone, a man stopping by to (cool enough) thank me for being in my artistic zone, buzzards overhead...but in a place like Gettysburg those images can’t help but hold more. What you saw in the circling birds is exactly the kind of weight that hangs in the air there, and then throw in where we are today. Thanks again for your time and support, my friend.☀️🪶🪨🙏

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          It really was, my friend! ☀️🪶🪨🙏 That whole park is loaded with inspirational spots to soak it all up and write!

          • NinjaGirl

            Sounds like that's just what you did!

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              Indeed! 😏

            • Teddy.15

              I see inspiration here, isn't it amazing where a place can take us. 🌹

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                Oh, without doubt. Such an inspiring and profoundly powerful place to be. Thank you my dear friend! ☀️🪶🪨🙏

                At times those not said become vivid with those that are said. Perhaps, I didn't make sense.

                Loved it!

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  My friend, you make perfect sense. Sometimes what’s unsaid becomes most vivid...that space between words where meaning takes hold. Beautifully put, and I’m grateful for your reflection. ☀️🪶🪨🙏
