Silver Strands

Her dark hair, laced with silver strands, cascaded once with sable glint, then lost (with drifting of the sands of time) the chasteness of its tint. It still grows long, but she has kept her dark hair laced with silver strands pulled back, attractively upswept, at times enwrapped in stylish bands. She misses days of few demands, the ragtop down, her locks wind-tossed. Her dark hair laced with silver strands reminds her now of all she's lost. . . She combs it out in dying light of dusk and dreams a lover's hands were touching it this moon-streaked night - her dark hair, laced with silver strands.
