Lurking Demons

Tristan Robert Lange


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:

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

In the fall-dressed forest
The beauty of death surrounds me,
The breath of my God, my Creator,
Blows around me and through me.

The demons rest for the moment,
The torment and darkness subside;
Yet, deep down I truly know
The mountaintop will be valley again.

The shades, they continue within,
They haunt me in torrents eternal.
The demon's name has been revealed,
Its purpose no longer unknown.

Forgiveness is always at hand
To those who can swallow their pride,
But even then the demon lurks,
Waiting to drown even the forgiven saints.

"Your accuser, the devil, is on the prowl like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8 NLT).

    I always feel subject to temptations and have at times give in to the dark side. I pray there is forgiveness in the end. Nicely done.
