Time For a Haircut
Flowing gray locks blown by the wind.
gives me a look of a hippy woman,
wearing bell-bottom jeans with a wide belt,
a big-collared shirt covered with a vest of felt.
Time for a haircut.
Hanging onto my hair length makes me feel
secure as I look at the mirror and realize that the
only things which changed are the color and my age,
one time it was chestnut brown which was the rage.
Time for a haircut.
I have to admit, I am no longer the raging beauty,
the flower child of the sixties who drove from town to
town in a van painted with daises looking for eden,
a hidden commune called Woods of Sweden.
Time for a haircut.
The time has arrived as I make up my mind,
cutting my hair is accepting my age and not hanging
onto my past as a young woman who knew that one
day her fountain of youth would slip by and be done.
Time for a haircut.
