for Franziska I A madman searching for a star Who I am and what you are But I have searched and I have found You who found me on the ground And when I search your face I see Through to the reality Of both of us that love is what Is but not of love is not That not of love not now not here Is of the phantom fear II But star you are what is like me We who meet where earth meets sky You as the star I know you are I as who have known you star And as what is you star and I Are of love to always be As first we transcendentally Were as you and me as we I know you are like I am too So star I reach for you III Blue velvet diamonds surround At midnight and quite alone A madman and the star he found Or was shown he says foreknown There he is in the in between Where he says there might be seen Ever brighter neverlight to See through him to see him through A star that only he can see The madman lonely me Steven Curtis Lance   Image: "Winter Dreams" by Franziska
