Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:

Read πŸ‘“, Write ✍️, Rise πŸŒ…, Realize 🀯.

Tristan πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
I wrote
Poetry on your walls,
Now they echo in your halls;
You’re just another brick in my stalls.
 
Merry Marian,
Quite the contrarian,
Screams her shadow obsidian;
You’re just another blank oblivion.
 
Doggy dog
Howls into shadows—
Blew down those shady bellows—
You’re just another brick in my wall of fellows.
 
Sappy sours
Mash in the ground.
Happy men piss off the hound.
You’re just the shape of a burial mound.

    Love Pink Floyd and Black Floyd echoes so many memories. Nicely worded with clue after clue. I was looking for a mother reference. A fave my friend

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Soren, this is why I value your reads…you meet the poem where it’s humming, catch the ghosts, catch the play. Grateful for you, my friend. And who knows…Black Floyd might be screaming for the second half of a double album. Or more. So much Floyd material to work with. Glad this delivered. You can probably tell I love Pink Floyd too. Brilliant band. Thanks again. πŸ•πŸ§±πŸŒΉπŸ™

        You are always most welcome it is my pleasure

      • Paul Bell

        That's strange, was playing dark side of the moon today. Best album ever.
        Takes you down to the depths and brings you up again. Should be used in therapy.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Seems like the stars aligned! Best album indeed! And πŸ’― it should be! I liken it to a lazy river ride through the dark night of the soul and brings you out on the other end! No other album has ever pulled off what that particular album has. So, I couldn't agree more. Thank you again, Paul!

        • Friendship

          This poem revolves around the interplay between identity, existence, and the impact of external influences on the self. It presents a somewhat dark, existential perspective on how individuals are shaped by their surroundings and interactions, suggesting a sense of entrapment and conformity. The repeated refrain "You’re just another" emphasizes feelings of insignificance and the struggle for individuality amidst a crowd. The subject matter encompasses themes of creativity, isolation, and the weight of societal expectations.

          • Tristan Robert Lange

            Dearest Friendship, this is a thoughtful read… you caught the dark hum beneath the play, the identity tug, the β€œjust another” erosion I wove in. You always bring a wider frame to the piece and I appreciate that clarity immensely. Thanks for engaging it with such care. πŸ•πŸ§±πŸŒΉπŸ™
