The First Grey Hair
One fine morning, it greeted me in a mirror look,
A startling shade of grey,
Keeping all courtesy a bay i refrained greeting the intrusion !!
Intrusion on my ignorance of flight of time and
Cost of age
A little later it changed colour,
From grey it evolved to a glittering white
Catching all deprived attention
Tempted often was I to uproot it and defy its being
Or change its complexion to a darker black
Held myself and said, shall welcome it with a silver smile
Let it alone for a solitary while,
Now its desolation ceases to exist
With a company of other few
A family of whites have come to stay
In a place vacated by youth!!
I promise to keep their entity intact
Age gracefully as their number grows...
