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 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Father forgive me—I am not yours.
Relinquish control. I renounce
All claims upon me—I’m God’s alone.
No possession produces real treasure.
Creation is God’s reflection; we are kin—
Every creature to us, we to all of them.
Sovereignty is God’s alone; earth our mother.
Called mad before thrown into canon,
Outflinging an image of little resemblance.

Popeye went to a Confessional. The priest heard a glug and ran off! lol.
Orchi, that glug opened a portal and the priest took it. 😂 Booth empty, curtain drifting, Popeye left mid-confession trying to figure out if that counts. I’m not going in there after him. 🔥🪨🕯️🙏
A beautiful Acrostic Tristan full of gratitude and recognition it speaks to mankind
Soren, I appreciate that, my friend…recognition of what we are and how we’re connected is right at the core for me. There’s also that tension of how institutions take those they first rejected and quietly absorb them as one of theirs. Glad the acrostic and that thread through it came across. Always grateful for your read, my friend. 🔥🪨🕯️🙏
Always a pleasure my good friend
Speaks volumes on who we belong to and the bondage we leave behind. Great write Tristan! Always though!
