My friend Franziska's in the clinic, like I was; I hope this helps. Love to all and each.

Eastern Promise


for Franziska


Somehow each other from afar
Now Franziska through this night
Gone on to dawn another day
Eastern promise underway
I hope and pray you are alright

Knowing how it is this way
As mad as we have had to be

This is a good time to say
Between us what you mean to me
Having understood me and
Because I have what you have I
Know you know I understand

My confidant my comrade you
Know I know what you go through

I send my love through night to day
Through these shades of gray between
Each and other reach hand to hand
At least we know what we mean
From afar have seen who we are

I am you my morning star
Sometimes afraid but having seen
Eastern promise in the sky
