Sailor's Blues by Paul Manktelow

Paul Manktelow Originals

In Sailors Blues Albronda Kanonda is feeling lost at sea. Although it is the nature of the wind to take us to our destination he does not always realize this as he sits in the stern of the boat contemplating the past and all that is being left behind. Lost love floats of in a bottle and a whale dives deep into the depths of emotion producing feelings of loneliness.

He has all that he needs on board, a friendly dog for companionship, a concertina for self- expression,
a telescope for which to focus, a lantern to shine the
light of inspiration, and a new love is looking over his shoulder. Fish jump for joy over his head trying to cheer him up and a metal compass fish hanging on
a string always swims to the north to give direction.

Thoughts rise like bubbles from the depths of the ocean and drift across the universe. When the time is ready and the right thought touches Albrondas mind he will turn around and experience a brand new horizon.
