My favorite time of your day is the dawn. My clouds become pink and grey and beautiful, while the sky does the same. Pixies do not need to sleep, though I like to sometimes. As usual, the second thing I do in the morning--the first being cloud watching, of course--is to check on Moonlight. This is my favorite time to watch her, too.

Sometimes my mind wanders to thoughts like ways to make contact with her, but I never really attempted anything; I am perfectly content. Maybe I could try shouting her name. No, she couldn't possibly hear me. Maybe one of her leaves would float up to me and I would send it back down with a sweet message. No, there would not be enough room for what I must say. Maybe if I waited patiently, her branches would become so tall that I would be able to reach them. No, one day she will die, because of her being a plant pixie.

I am immortal. Moonlight is not. If only there were a way for me to break the Barrier...

The Barrier is an invisible line between earth and sky. It is practically impossible to cross, unless you can find a way to break it. I have thought of this before, but I often dismiss it. It's highly unlikely, and if anyone found out about my trying to cross it, I would for sure be stripped of my title as Keeper for sure. Someday, I think to myself. Yes, someday I will meet her.
