The rhapsody of black and white
Fused lines between tassels muted and bright
At ease, a salt pepper palette of cutting edge
Goodness of an oversized mane or a quirky wedge
A paradoxical source of resilience and strength
Breaking perceptions about monotony in length
Highlights a symbol of ageless pigments
A contoured look, slaying with smudged vignettes
In fact, the grey mane is your splendorous mess
While the black warriors through daily stress
What does this trophy mean to you, why go this way?
Changes to, ooooohhhh how long does the silver stay?
I know each strang gathers stories, takes a brave fight
Completes my sassiness with a blend of poetic highlights
A way to live with ambiguity, and some non negotiables
One grey strand after another to shatter those fables
I started by just testing a thought, an imagined hypothesis
Succumbing to authenticity is easier than keeping up appearances
What it means to embrace life as delivered, accept a glass half full
A cocktail of salt, pepper and autumns does create a palpable pull
