That First Strand of Grey

by ShoutyCapital

To that first strand of Grey.... That pointer to agedness. Bridge between cradle and grave. Fine line between ode and dirge. It is wisdom. It is senility. Subtle reminder to how on earth, we are briefly gorgeous. That first strand of grey. @incognitaio

This I wrote the first time I noticed the very first strand of grey in my beard. It was a surreal experience.
