picture inspired poems

As the title says, a while back on this site we had a similar "event" -I dunno what else to call it- so I wonder if anybody would be interested in maybe choosing a certain picture and then write a poem inspired by it and post both to this thread, I find it most intriguing to see how people interpret art or even random scenery. Thanks for your time and have a nice day whoever reads this.

Very interesting. Is there any picture/portrait that you recommend for others to start with?

my effort (from the vaults)

Floating castle rocks my world.

Whenever he desired solitary existence
the castle called his name,
it began with a whisper
a tone that deafened this realm.

He often wondered how he would reach it,
the rock hung beautifully in the cloud strewn sky,
the anger of the sea was his reminder,
of such a turbulent life below.

He imagined standing and admiring
those poor souls scurrying below,
continuing their ant like lifestyle
while he was king of his flying mountain.

But once turned back from the painting,
looking for a sign to comfort,
he realised that so many blue brush-strokes,
could only point to sadness.

~Eye spy~

...Stillness

Coloured coral concealing, not revealing...yet
Patience endures...un-blinking...barely beating.

...hush

Buoyant, silent storm, mentally pacing...bracing.
Preened evolution, honed to the muscular bone.

...slowly

...ever so carefully, moving, approving
what the eye becomes alive for, survives for..

...not long now

the suspense of imminent death on baited breath
threatens to stain waters too clear for fear, perhaps?

...Suspense

...a spectator, a prying rubber aviator.
Shadows akin with quest, investing, no resting

Attack!!!

In a cloud of calculation, blood and crustaceans
...nature tears its jagged grin of vice like pearly sin..

.....hush

Waters calm the reef like a medicinal balm,
Soothing the fight of natures bite.

..stillness

leaving the coral
concealing
a grin...

..of blackened ice.

A couple comes to my head but I'll put the one I was actually reminded of this when I saw. It is Salvation by Marc Fishman

And another that I find very interesting is The Concert with a Bas-Relief by Valentin de Boulogne

Also thanks to the guys who posted already, I enjoyed the reads so much.

let me be... (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/14/07/7d/14077d2e794f73d8ccbeb0088819f44b.jpg )

dying in darkness
with writhing snakes
at my feet

I inhale flames
flailing the sane
i seek

oh, let me me...

emptied and drained
I am leaving
those hallowed gates

arise arise arise
a light pulls
ascending
for sanity's sake

slowly, I rise
and hear them
roar

hissing, they claw
drawing me thin
ripping my skin

oh, let me be...

betwixt and between
dark and light
forever caught
in a life
and death
fight
