longing to be liquid
a restless wanderer
let loose the lines
unfurled the main
with severed heart
set solitary course
on an uncaring sea
adrift
the lonely sailor
preserved remains
from his lips
the final note
love's lost
refrain

Manfred Fritz Bajorat's mummified remains were recently discovered aboard his sailboat by fishermen off the coast of the Philippines.
Found on a internet sailor's forum were Manfred's final words, written to his deceased wife, Claudia:
"Thirty years we’re together on the same path. Then the power of the demons was stronger than the will to live. You’re gone. May your soul find its peace. Your Manfred."
Like the tiger shark he was nicknamed for, Manfred roamed the oceans alone for many years. He hadn't been seen by anyone since 2009...
