The Empty Chair

The Empty Chair Like a single cloud on a sunny day you knew he had you covered a constant in an ever changing world but now all we have is an empty chair. Like reading a thriller with the last page missing A joke without a punch line or a foreign film without sub titles its a mystery that leaves me sad and speechless A jigsaw with a piece mislaid A lock without a key or a roundabout with just one exit no rhythm no reason just why A crossword puzzle that's incomplete A Sudoku with the numbers all messed up Or a word search with that word you cannot find why oh why must we endure the conundrum of the Empty Chair.
