This poem reminds us that it's never too late for forgiveness or love and sometimes the universe gives us something different than we imagined, but it's just as good or even better. \u0026lt;3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToo Late?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time we arrive at the cliffside\u003cbr\u003e to watch the sunset, the darkness\u003cbr\u003e  has already come. But because\u003cbr\u003eof the inkish sky, we see thousands\u003cbr\u003e of yellow lights glitter across the harbor,\u003cbr\u003e  and moonlight on the water makes\u003cbr\u003ethe blackened surface shine. How often\u003cbr\u003e do I think I’m too late, only to find I have\u003cbr\u003e  arrived at just the right moment,\u003cbr\u003ethe moment in which there is a beauty\u003cbr\u003e beyond the one I knew to wish for?\u003cbr\u003e  Like how, when I thought it was too late\u003cbr\u003eto forgive, forgiveness arrived with its\u003cbr\u003e soft and generous hands. Like how, when\u003cbr\u003e  I thought I was too late to love, love\u003cbr\u003eflowered like a sunset, radiant and blazing,\u003cbr\u003e and stayed, the way sunsets never do.\u003cbr\u003e  Like how when I believed I was here\u003cbr\u003eto adore the light, I came to learn how exquisite,\u003cbr\u003e how lavish, how astonishing, the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe words are printed in a typewriter font on handmade cotton rag paper.
