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
