The Empty Chair

 The Empty Chair

by Emmit Other


There is an empty chair at our gaming table

For our friend

That we knew was in dire straights

Wasnt getting out like we thought

But getting out into the final checkout

In 

The

Sky

only to find out from his beloved

That there will be no more adventures

No more jaunts into the unknown

No dragons slain

No rogues careened with of a questional gangreen variety

We raise a glass in our home hallowed halls

We raise a glass in our hearts

And we raise a glass for the iron company

We will put a place of honor in his memorial

And every time we face impossible odds

Every time we would back down when logic would dictate

We ask ourselves

What would Jon do

And go a little bit farther

And track a little more wonder

And live a little bit more free as a result.

To Jon. To Quix. To our musical departed Finnigan the Rogue.

in his wake we mourn his dust.

See you on the other side of that second star at morning.
