I’m submitting under poetry something I wrote for a capsuller friend of mine who died, though there have been several now. I don’t really want to have a separate thread just for this simply to link it here - so I hope this entry is considered valid.

Epitaph for a Capsuleer

You helped us out when we were rookies  
Unsure what to do or how to play  
You said you would come and guide us  
Because you were only one jump away

We became corpmates, allies and friends  
Finding challenge and success among the stars  
You were always there to share our journey  
Because we were only ever one jump apart

As we undock we still expect to see you near us  
A capsuleer with whom we grew and flew  
No matter what we needed or when  
You were always somehow ‘passing through’

We honour you as you honoured us  
We celebrate the great gift of knowing you  
You go now where we will one day follow  
Some day we’ll take that last jump too
