To Sarah T’Suri

I’ve heard it said at time’s last fleeting,
When Bridegroom calls hither to HIS Equal
A stone bequeathed to all manner those meeting,
Embossed a new name worthy of Earth’s sequel
Wilst it outdo her former label?

Awaiting embers rising from lake ablaze,
Seek ye the counsel of records exposed
Compacting centuries scrunched to matter of days,
Titles diminished to discard old worldless woes
What sobriquet afresh marks her table?

Curating memories through past delights in quarry,
Hepburn, Grant, Lewis, Tolkien, Rogers, Dickenson, Frost
Flair, Hogan, Hart, Sandler, Jolie, Whitney, Carey,
Wayans, Washington, Davis, Sidney, Marvel, MED, Lost
Will future cognomen be her mononymous staple?

As Abe Head-Honcho chose wisely stunning Sarai,
Rachel, Lizzy, Mary carried through to the full
Jake, Mo, Sam, Dave built on legend of Sinai,
Yet one esteemed appelative draws Heaven’s greatest pull
Breathing Sarah just as sweet as liquid maple?

All things possible? Yes! Earth witnesses this en mass
Miracles, signs, wonders run the gamut of prudence,
Yet the magnificent name Sarah sits astute in top class
Who shall outperform it? What teacher, which student?
Might I be there to see it outmatched?
A new name befitting such a smoldering catch?
A greater title than Sarah at first world’s end?
Alas, at new beginning please seat me by my illustrious friend!

Then shall I know her!
Sarai Ascended:
Sarah: and then…
