 Finding The Flood - Poems by Jeremy Joel

First Glimpse of Gray



Once dismissed, senile gibberish
Now I get it, what old men like to say
Their wisdom time delayed
Triumphs and tribulations
Disastrous decades
The constant winding of the age
A strand of discolored hair
A shocking discovery of oneself
The first glimpse of gray
Money can't buy a new reality
It's can't buy the gifts you've come to ignore
The best things in life are right in front of you
Where there's less there's always more


Awe-inspiring, five senses at play
The dawning of an ordinary day
A garden in bloom
A second honeymoon
Laughter cooking in the kitchen
Hands entwined
Anniversary wine
Gently parted lips
Memories magnificent
Power of voice
Freedom of choice


Sparkling long ago it was diamonds and gold
Drying your eyes as your ship sailed away
You thought you'd never grow old
Then the first glimpse of gray
