copyright (c) 2002 Londis Carpenter

I write so you'll remember
That the Wizard of Oz and the Wizard of Ur
Are the same
And I am
The Man with the Hammer
You called Thor.
I write so you'll remember
Walking with me
Throughthe garden
Hand in hand
The walls of earth are littered
With the ruins of fallen stars
And runes of men.
The Circles of Grain
And Wheels of Sky are real.
And Moses cloud
Has now become Ezekiel's wheel.
Two million gods and twenty thousand sects;
And looking into space I see my face
And God and I are one.
And You are there too!
And what I am I know you also are.
I write so you'll remember
That the world was one time saner
That the Beast must die and
Man become again
His cosmic planner.

I write so you'll remember
What Tod Morgan said to me,
"Go to the heart of danger
Find safety and be free."
I write so you'll remember that
There never was a day
You didn't have all that it took
To help you find the way.

I write so you'll remember
What is written in your head
So I won't need to say again
What Ive already said
I write so you'll remember
Whats already in your heart.
There's nothing you can't know
Because the whole is in the part.

I write so you'll remember
All that happens now
Has happened once before.
