(some of) the last forty-six hours

tea

taking turns reading (but)
being the one to read the last few chapters aloud (because I am)
completing the circle (and, with the last line read,)
feeling like I've said good-bye to dear friends (though now i am)
feeling content (about a weekend spent just the two of us)
drinking many mugs of tea (and)
eating chocolate (because we were)
fighting off dementors and You-Know-Who (and)
discussing what we thought might happen next (and)
deducing horcruxes and whereabouts and allegiances (and)
eating (because you have to do that along with)
sleeping just enough (and)
taking some time to celebrate bits of real-life excitement (and)
remembering (to find ourselves)
living in the joy (because sometimes we forget)

Parentheticals. . .what a great way to infuse conversational texture into the poem. I can hear the pauses and tone change.

This is lovely. And I've spent much of the last 24 hours absorbed in the world of Harry as well. Such a GREAT story!!

I'm with Michelle--not an HPer. Hope both of you enjoyed the final wrap though.

Sounds much like my weekend! But I could never describe it as poeticly :)

terrific!

My husband and I read the HP books aloud to one another too. Takes forever, because now we have to wait until the kids are in bed, but I cannot imagine reading them any other way.

I had such a big smile on my face as I read this! The last few days have been infused with much reading, much less sleep then is very necessary, and more tea then is characteristic for me for this time of year! What a wonderful way to spend time!

Much love,
