After last weeks portrait of a sailor, I decided to create a single page, silent, mini-comic titled Married To The Sea. I wrote a short poem to accompany the comic, which helped me capture the mood and story behind this lonesome sailor.
he's bound to the sea and calls her his own
but knows his place
bowlines and hitches, his second nature
like that, the love of the ocean air
his compass finds home in the pocket
closest to his heart attached to the
anchor he's never cast
waves rock the boat to sleep
until morning
forever bound to the sea
