At this hour Children sleep
Among the darkness people creep
Beyond the shadows there is light
Couldn't stand this endless fight
Defined lines in her drawings
Every picture echoed a memory
Forgotten people rested in her mind
Grilling burning thoughts of past times
Her loneliness made her grimace
Intentions were all but to finish
Jokes and riddles crossed her mind
Killing past interruptions
Losing everyone made her go cross.
Movements she made were very small
Never making sound at all
Perfectly graceful she seemed
On her face the light beamed
Quite a beauty light shimmered
Reflection in the water glimmered.
Surrendering her fears
Trickling tears
Under perfect melody
Variation symphony
Welcome to an unknown world
Xanadu for a helpless girl
You can help her if you please
Zoning out she rests in peace.

Welcome to an unknown world
Xanadu for a helpless girl
