Time is in shadows and light, poetry and song

Steptoe Shadows by Mike Dawson

When I saw the truly awesome shot above I was reminded, for some reason, of this poem.......


 

Inscription for Katrina's Sun-Dial
- -by Henry Van Dyke


IN HER GARDEN OF YADDO
          HOURS fly
          Flowers die.
          New days,
          New ways,
          Pass by.
          Love Stays
             - - -
          Time is
Too Slow for those who Wait,
Too Swift for those who Fear,
Too Long for those who Grieve,
Too Short for those who Rejoice;
      But for those who Love,
          Time is Not.


And Van Dyke's poem, of course, brought a 60s rock classic (one of my favorites) to mind....... 
Time Is by It's a Beautiful Day
