That Goddess

Her entourage,
It was as if,
She took the breathes away,
Literally.
The room could freeze,
Everyone,
Staring,
Looking,
Hoping,
Loving,
Caring,
Hating.
Depending,
On the side of her you were on.

The air,
It became lighter,
She commanded,
Without a word,
Her walk,
As if she walked
Right through the womb she lay in.

Everything,
Silent,.
As if she was,
A god of some kind.
A goddess.

The entourage,
All the courage, 
She was everything. Everyone knew,
She was everything,
And herself,
She knew ,
That they were looking,
Admiring,
Wishing,
Hoping,
Even hating.

But she didn't care.
She never did,
About anything,
Anything at all.
