Late have I learned to listen,
to rest,
to weep,
to be.
Almost gone are moments to go slow,
to reflect,
to wonder,
to day-sleep.
Fleeting is the day for wordless prayers,
to pause,
to sing,
to remember.
Late have I learned to turn up the quiet,
to speak low,
to be small,
to love well.
“Late have I loved you, beauty, so old and so new: late have I loved you.”
