Tempting sun dyes
waking horizon,
put to sleep by a bygone vicious storm.
Today will be the last dance,
I take it slow and embrace the rhythm.
Stepping to the silence of the aftermath;
stomping on the beauty of yesterday’s wrath.
So clear I’m lost,
but I’ll let these waves take me;
submerge myself in
tranquil rapture...
... will you follow?

I really liked the last stanza.

Yes that picture is gorgeous and so is this poem, I also really love how you call "wrath" "beauty".. it can be taken so many different ways, from there being a positive to every negative to chaos just being beautiful.. it's really intriguing and beautiful poem.
