It’s not too late
to start a garden
it’s not too late
to plant some trees
it’s not too late
for solar power
or water catchment
or keeping bees.
It’s not too late
to think of others
it’s not too late
to learn to cook
it’s not too late
to learn a language
or read
or even write a book.
It’s not too late
unless we give up
it’s not too late
to turn around
in the quiet
of these hours
can be where
tomorrow’s found.
Are you happy
and contented
with this world
that you can see
if you’re not
then switch the power
walk outside
and plant a tree.
It’s exactly
what we’re missing
a real connection
with the earth
let the quiet
of these hours
be humanity’s
rebirth
