A White Hair...

Among the bushes of side-burns
lied that meandering white hair
just around my right ear,
giving me so much of fear.
On the roll was
my contemplation,
my day-dreaming
as I started thinking
Of those teeth
that would be gone,
Of those wrinkles
that would surface
Of those bones
that would go weak
and no-longer hold my own weight.

As my thoughts crept into the grey days
with the dusky sun burying its rays
I looked at life ....
those 'young' old days
And before i could cry,
I smiled at myself ....
looking into the mirror
that unveiled my hair
All I saw was just a thread
playing around,
grey and dead!!!!
