The Philosopher Clown

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:

Read 👓, Write ✍️, Rise 🌅, Realize 🤯.

Tristan 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

The philosopher clown,
Has hit the big town
And it's all going down
In this city of lights.

As deep as great lakes,
The attempt he makes,
He grasps at the stakes,
But is lost to them all.

His graceless motion,
Causes great commotion,
Like the chaotic ocean,
He is so misunderstood.

His brilliance is lost,
And his dignity tossed
At such a great cost,
Some things never change.

    Brilliant script here my friend. You managed to pull strings together showing the anthology of physics.

    Read my piece called Laughing Gas. Its not just about a clown either.
