Lavender Aoha Quietly

Like a lighthouse it flashes.

I see nothing but the blinking horrors

Of my mind

And of my life.

As the hurricane surrounds me,

I sit quietly with my cup of tea,

And sip gently and watch the world drown.

Calmly and collected I walk outside.

I embrace the hurricane like an old friend

I'm petrified that It will move.

But no one can stop me.

This poem has so much power and raw emotion. I especially like the title, it's very unique and eye-catching. Out of all the poems I've see of yours, this would have to be my favorite :)
Marvelous job!

so many people are scared because they don't understand how and what to see . . . there should really be a self help program for those who see in shades

it might save the world

I'm not sure what Aoha is but the title sounds lovely and satine, like rubbing your cheek on a lamb's ear (the plant, not the actual animal, although I suppose that'd work too). Strong start, the middle is a bit wobbly, and then "I'm petrified / I see shades" is lovely. I do think you need the last line, but in a very different way. Instead of just blatently stating the speaker likes it, use an image that expresses such (great opp to use something lavender... look up it's properties?)

You're like the big sister of writing to me.
