Ariel

Peter Pink-Howitt, “Ariel”, algo-art, 2021 CE

Where are you dreaming child of the sea?

I awoke to the dawn without you.

The first light of the day,

Illuminated only your absent shadow.

The memory of you

Burned in my mind,

Before I had opened my eyes.

Only yesterday

we drifted together contentedly

and, with just one arm,

I enclosed you completely.
