The Open Door

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
I am lagging slightly in my responses to comments on my poems due to a crazy schedule. I will be catching up on them soon. I have read them all and will find the time to respond, but did not want you to think I was ghosting. In the meantime, and always:

Read, Write, Rise, Realize.

Tristan ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›
light from open door
creates a pathway forward
into the shadows.

        Doh! Now I've stepped into darkness and can't see a thing. Fat lot of us that was to me! But wait, it's a lot of us to us - we won't be able to see Popeye's antics. But we'll still hear the glugs! We knew we couldn't escape him completely. heehee.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Orchi ๐Ÿ˜‚ well now weโ€™re all just standing in the dark listening for glugs like itโ€™s some kind of warning systemโ€ฆthis is what weโ€™ve become. What are the warning about. Wish we could, but WCAT! ๐Ÿšช๐ŸŒ‘โœจ๐Ÿ™
