Empress Queen

Empress Queen

The first hit
like a bullet through the eye
standing tall 
shoulders back
chin high
still
swallow
breathe 
swallow 
blink
calms her mind
allowing the words to penetrate
some just drift away 
can't take them in
holds herself
silently calling her inner woman
professional to the end
they cannot see anything but strength
so strong in this her vulnerability
she disempowers them with it
empowers all the small people
such grace
holding your orb
nothing can touch you
You are Empress Queen.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
