A Serenade

Sarahs are assembling, brought together
By serendipity
And the surreal mysteries of Sarahness.
A rainbow in gold, turquoise or cerise -
Skirts, saris or sarongs
A medley of fabulous auroras.

Sarahs welcome, be you from Sarawak,
Montserrat or Surrey,
Or whether Capricorn, Aquarius...Aries.
Long tall Sallies, petite, dark, auburn, fair -
Siren or serene,
Bold, cerebral, soulful; sexy or seraphic.

Creating a splendid sorority,
Sarahs' many faces
Joined in a ceremony of celebration.
And then, as seven strikes, slipping away
To shape your destiny.
Whatever will be will be - que sera sera.
