Tantalize ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #26

Tantalizing
Tantalus
Dragon-backed ridges
Under indigo
And ice

I stop here
Often
To Wonder
To be
Tantalized

Elixir of Possibilities

I drink in the night
That elixir of possibilities
Unimaginable
By daylight
With a thirst
Unquenchable

It has been said
Space is the final frontier
But space is merely infinite
While the depths of being
Are unfathomable

The rock
Like clay
Tortured
By a
Toddler’s
Hand

Sometimes
In reflection
A stunning clarity

I try to remember
The slightest disturbance

I like a moody shore
A place with surprises
And some risk
The tide may catch you up
In some small sandy bay
If you’re not paying attention

I suppose that says a lot
About my life

As much as I love
A sunset
I love
Even more
The opportunity
To greet its return

I do not mourn
The passing of the sun
Because it is beautiful
And I know it will return

It is no different
With the cycle of life
And death
And rebirth

There’s a subtle light
When the sun breaks through
Over a stormy sea
Far in the distance

The burst of amber
Draws the eye
With its shameless
Brazen vibrance

An endless sea to my left
Mountains rising
Into the sky on my right

A yellow stripe
And smooth asphalt
Winding along
The rocky shore between
