Silver Gray

Garth Rakumakoe

Silver gray

is a privilege

For silver gray

is the collective sum

of experience 

and wisdom

 

In this youth

I pray that my silver gray

be worth the journey

and a holy grail

to pass on

to my descendants

in its dying tooth

      I found a dark whisker but not my missing teeth.

      Hello,

      Within this short piece there are many things unfolding, I felt that you were reaching out perhaps sending an intention or a blessing to people dear to you. At the end the tooth made me think of life wisdom. I enjoyed the read!
