Sometimes at dead of night

Sometimes at dead of night she calls
Echoing down corridors of dreams,
Lost at crossroad in another land
Tumbling in confusion.

Her plaintive cry sinks into my soul
Heartbreaking sorrow and despair,
Swirling all the colours of her mind
Into forgotten rainbows.

Her captive spirit aches to be set free
Its melancholy tears are pools of doubt,
Enchanted by a spell cast long ago
On some far horizon
