Notes from a Time Traveller by Elke Stevens

Lying down on the grass between the pink petal daisies,
feeling the night’s fog and the morning dew on my feet as I walk.

Believing in things I can believe in as I fall asleep on a summer’s day in May,
in the grass between the daisies.

Lying down on the grass under the shadow of the apple blossom
hearing the young birds sing,
imagination going wild hoping to keep imagining
as I fall asleep under the apple blossoms.

Lying down on the grass watching the creators of honey at work when
I feel the heat of the sun on my lips,
with the knowledge that somewhere under this sun warm as summer in spring,
my dear old love awaits
when I believe in things I can believe in as I fall asleep on a summers day in May.

Lying down on the grass feeling the petals from the apple blossoms on my warm face as I smile and think of the beauty ahead, the grown strong bird, the sweet apple from the tree and no cloud above only the summer sun in May.
