One Gray Hair

Just stepped out fresh out the shower; reflection and self-discovered one gray hair, forced sullen glower, wear proudly or see it covered. Radiating or emitting All of every-day gone too fast, within the night in silence draws to greatest of pleasure, spice cast fruits of summers fade the fine flaws. Full of gray soon like brightest moon 2/24/2018 Poetry Contest: Rhyme Me A Posie - One Gray Hair Sponsored by: Broken Wings

Sweetie - this is a precious reflection, one I can relate to easily. Check 1st line, you probably meant to type " ... fresh from the shower." The imagery in your 2nd stanza is awesome! All the best ... CayCay

You are right to let the silver shine Eve. I found my first at seventeen. No dye has ever touched my scalp. Well done.
