Newton Ranaweera Poet Rhyme

A Gray Hair Prays

Sprang open Spring a box of rainbow rains,
And Summer rains led to your gold grains;  
Juice oozes from your yellow, mellow grapes,
You play a kingly show with curvy shapes. 
   
Morning mist floats, dancing through trees; 
Fragrance of fruits sails, prancing in breeze;
Bees buzz and birds hum, granting us bliss,
And night flurry flows hissing me with a kiss.

After a great rise, comes a woeful fall,
And shows your fall my mirror on the wall;
Green turns into gold and now into gray;
A displaced gray hair does silently pray.
