Author's Notes:

Disclaimer: Luna has never heard of either me or J. K. Rowling, and anyway she thinks it would be silly to claim to own her universe, because everybody owns their own universe.

Is this real?

What is reality, anyway?

How can the ordinary,
the mundane and
meaningless,

be real, when it has no
imprint on my soul?

The cotton candy clouds
are real; the rippling green
leaves and the sound of
a true laugh,

and so are all the curious creatures
made not of dull
proof, but of bright faith,

and sweet memories and deep
dreams are real when
they squeeze my heart,

and art and music that
speaks to me,
beauty to all five
senses -

and people, the love we feel
for one another

those nameless, wordless
sensations
are real

and Iâ€™m not sure
the rest

exists.

End Notes:

Reviews are real. I know so, because they make me smile.
