Never Too Late

It’s late 

but never too late 

to do the only thing 

that comes 

at this hour of the night. 

It could be getting 

into warm flannel pyjamas 

or it could be 

writing an open letter 

to the world to settle 

into a peaceable night.

“Courage, my friends; ’tis not too late to build a better world.”
