sometimes i think strangely, that gray hair come when thinking too much, however this is a beautiful haiku indeed,

Yes age isn't the only thing that can age people.

Saying much in 3 lines. You are seeing aging, yet your long hair sounds beautiful…they sway (perhaps as they always did…seeing a part of your youth still…their is joy in the final line…tinsel gray, like Christmas….a healthful shine. Sounds like your aging like fine wine. Hugs ~ Kim
