Creation Saturday: Watching Myself

The March 16, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is
Pretend that you see yourself walking into a room. What is your first impression of yourself? What stands out about you? Now change the room you are entering (gym, office, church, etc) How does that change your impression?

I watch myself walk into the room,
who is this gray haired woman
entering my abode.

As the shock wears off,
I realize it is me
and I do not remember
coloring my hair gray
or is it closer to salt and pepper;
perhaps
I should consider a new shampoo
that enhances
the beauty of the gray.

I watch myself walk into the Baha'i Center,
head held high,
I stop to catch my breath
and continue
into the mail hall.

I smile
as I notice
my gray hair glistening
reflecting the chandeliers
bright light;
perhaps
when my gray hair turns completely white
it will be
as beautiful as my mother's
and my grandmother's.
