Camelot was no more.
Godwulf the hermit, struck down.
Gaheris and Lynet also.
We kept a running total
Over the last two books,
And it eventually ran to a full page.
Beloved characters
(And a few stinkers).
I can see now, with a day of distance behind me,
How much of my sorrow comes,
Not only from loss of characters,
But from the loss of the experience,
The end.
I want those precious hours of counting down pages,
Of unexpectedly beautiful moments that made me gasp
And get prickly behind the ears
To keep going forever.
And I confess to feeling
More than a little devastated that
Camelot was no more.
