It starts with a single drop,
a tear falling from the sky.
I find myself gazing at the stars,
looking for answers from the ancient gods.
A few more drops
and I step into another world.
Useless fabric falls to the ground
as I shed my layers.
I close my eyes
and suddenly I'm spinning,
laughing with elation
as I have nothing to hide.
Fully exposed for perhaps the first time,
I see you standing there.
A few delicate steps
and I hold out my hand,
Come dance with me...
