It has required three requests, an app closure, and now a complete device restart to load the recording of this poem. Its feature image is likewise refusing to load. We’ll publish it without, and then see what can be done.

Pure Presence

Mind
Quite clear

Spirit
In balance,

Your heart
Will still break

The tears
Will still flow

Let it up
Let it out

Let it go
Let it go

Let it go
Let it go

Let it go
