Midnight eyes like diamonds without depth,

Feathers like ink; the blackbird's smiling.

Lips parted, I call it closer, but

On wings of light I watch it fly.

Desert sky, so high above me;

Trance-like state-I keep on going.

I follow a thought, a song, a dream.

Storm clouds gather, darkness closing in,

Thorns on my path, blood is my trail,

Yet as the sky turns grey

I'll walk forever and a day.

Indeed, what are dreams but a feeble butterfly that we're willing to walk after, forever and a day, to catch?

Luna looked up from the parchment and sighed. She wished her mother were there to read her poem. With a painful smile, she picked up the parchment and was about to tear it to pieces when a thought struck her. Maybe Neville would like to take a look at it. She slipped it into her bag.
