Notes from a Time Traveller by Elke Stevens

He sits and waits patiently, he knows why he waits.
For his day is just beginning, for his day will bring fairness and beauty.

He sits and waits patiently, for his heart never oldens on a day’s breadth, for at a day’s breadth a new wind will give way.

He knows why he waits, for the day’s past will never be at the wonders of the horizon, for his heart is full of joy and love on the sun’s horizon.

He sits and waits patiently, for his memory of dance feels warm to no regret, for no memory of the past will take him back to this moment.

He knows why he waits, for a time comes closer and the tides are rising, for the tides are telling the beginning of new story’s.

He sits and waits patiently, for he knows why he waits.
