My Mind Is A Turbulent Sea Poem by Rani Turton

My mind is an oasis; nourished and calm
A refuge from parched days, unruly thoughts
A haven from strife and trying to understand.

My mind is a turbulent sea. As dark clouds gather
Waves rise to unreasonable heights
Lightning crackles, thunder thunders now
I am lost, just another beseiged dhow.

My mind is a void. Empty of thoughts.
Akin to blackest night and whitest snow
That is the state of my mind now.
