TINTED STRAND OF WISDOM The day my eyes beheld the sheeny silvery strand almost had a nervous breakdown was it not just yesterday we recited nursery rhymes and danced in the rain yesterday when we wore oversized shoes and baggy clothes that mama bought us for christmas yesterday when we were just girls who had gabfests filled with giggling about the far future oh there it is! the very first grey hair glittering and standing proud like a trophy about to be presented to the winning team in the glaring view of the teeming audience first thought was to pluck it out but at a second glance saw art in the mind's eye it's just a strand not the official opening of the floodgates it's inevitable and means nothing ultimately the beautiful melanin hair will one day turn grey no need to conceal it not only does it get finer with age but it also comes with insight
