SOHR-oo-ka
Sorcha is the proud tilt of her head.
Sorcha is her regal bearing.
Sorcha is the aristocracy running through her veins.
Sorcha is a lady.
Sorcha is the fierceness of its Gaelic ancestry.
Sorcha is the caressing whisper of its beginning,
The dipping awe in its middle,
And the exclamation of its end.
Sorcha is the shining of her eyes.
Sorcha is the brightness of her soul.
Sorcha is the misty isles themselves.
Sorcha is the gentle curve of her shape.
Sorcha is the soft gold in her hair.
Sorcha is the strength of her being.
Sorcha is Sarah.
Sorcha...is me.
Author notes
My AP name is Sorcha; the first line is the pronounciation of this name. It means "bright, shining". It is a real name of Irish and Gaelic descent, and the equivalent of my own name, Sarah.
