Naked
I stand before you today naked. As naked as I was the day I was born. I bare my soul to you. I entrust my vulnerability to your wisdom and judiciousness. I ask that you do not judge me for what you see, but accept me for who I am.
Please do not take undue advantage of my openness. I beseech thee to see an honest reflection of yourself in my frankness and to refrain from distorting what I truly represent. My nakedness is the one thing that can bring you enlightenment. Who am I? I am the naked truth.

A really good Drabble Michael. Reading it I had no idea how it would end; nice one.

Thanks. It was another drabble idea that woke me from a restful sleep.

I use thinking of drabble ideas as a way of getting to sleep! Trouble is, sometimes I have to get out of bed to write them down lest I forget. Keep those great drabbles coming.

I, too, was surprised by the ending. (The Truth seems to use modern dictum,
"beseech thee" seems something of the past.) -

D.M. "Beseech thee" was a conscious choice. Glad you noticed.
