They announce The Dancer.
Polite applause.
The music stirs.
The pulse of the drum quickens.
My everyday world fades away
as I approach the Gate.

I am The Dancer.
I am Salomé, veiled in mystery.
I am Inanna, the Evening Star.
My Dance Of Greeting draws to a close

as the music winds down.
The creative energy I’ve raised
draws a breath and waits.
Together, we’ve formed a triad of Power:
You, the musicians, and me.
Together, we’ll pass through the next Gate
and draw away the veil,
and explore the dance to come.
I am The Dancer.
I am Salomé, veiled in mystery.
I am Inanna, the Evening Star.
