Sun dial in the Garden of Time 1920x689

Stone to the Sun: a poem

Kathleen Jamie was commissioned to write a poem which captures the spirit of the Garden of Time and the surrounding ancient landscape.

 

stone to the sun

breeze to the grass

birdsong from the branches

balm for the soul

 

mist to the hilltops

shower to the earth

path of the searching mind

dream to the clouds

 

flower to the spring

moon to the pool

love in the keen heart

here to the now

Still                         Aye                        Yett
