One Gray Hair

As a feeling of being young
And being able to hold breathe
I took myself to swim along
To the far far ends of the Earth
While doing it
I got afraid

I tried to ignore the knee bang
That came with a wave underneath
Gray hair reflected as watch rung
Started being afraid of depth
The gray got bold
I am so old
