The Traveller
Backwards and forwards through time he travels
Each day much like the other
He continues to seek but does not discover
This burden is so hard to bear
Now and then he passes another
Also on a quest like his
Eyes haunted and face so haggard
Desperation etched in every line
Across the centuries he's been searching
Dim is memory of what he seeks
He's sure to know when he stumbles across it
Until then he will carry on
Each day much like the other
He continues to seek but does not discover
This burden is so hard to bear
Now and then he passes another
Also on a quest like his
Eyes haunted and face so haggard
Desperation etched in every line
Across the centuries he's been searching
Dim is memory of what he seeks
He's sure to know when he stumbles across it
Until then he will carry on

He's sure to know when he stumbles across it... And, we can only hope The Traveller knows what to do with it once found. Thanks for sharing the quest.
Now who can tell of the absolute truth when its heard...that is the real
quest for the Traveller....will he really ever know?
