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.

What Matters Is
I am.
Sum.
The sum—
My parts
Exposed.

Oh my, this is very very creative dear Tristan, and I'm telling you as a fellow human a fellow writer and a fellow cyber friend, boy you matter a great deal! Excellent play on words and a brilliant lay out! ๐น
What a profound impact you make! You shine brighter than any question in my mind, for your presence in my life is a treasure. Living next door to you would be a dream come true, but even from afar, your friendship illuminates my world. I'm thankful to have you by my side and to call you my friend. I wish we could share moments in person, but even though we meet as kindred spirits online, our bond remains strong. Though I don't see you, your existence radiates warmth, and I appreciate how you show up authentically on this site. Your presence is a gift, and I'm grateful that you never leave me wondering; you're always there. Your artistic talents, both in drawing and writing, inspire me to create and dream bigger. โค๏ธ๐นโค๏ธ
Popeye says 'The whole is more than the sum of all the parts (the sum of all the cans of spinach, that is!)'. lol.
therefore: I think? more or less the summation? a summative existence? High time we unravelled what we were force-fed๐๏ธ๐
Ergo cogito sum put it in the day cart. A great read my friend and loved the art and structuring of this work. It extends the meaning
