FOR LO. I AM THE WOMB OF THE EARTH
AND THE SOUL OF THE TREES
I AM THE CAULDRON OF PRIMAL WATERS.
WHERE DREAMS ARE CREATED.
IN MY HEART MAY YOU FEEL MY RAPTURE.
AND AS MY SOUL MAY YOU FLY LIKE EAGLES.
ACROSS THE WINDS OF THE TIME AND SPACE.
FOR I AM ALL THAT HAS EVER BEEN.
AND ALL THAT WILL BE.
I AM THE BRIDGE OF THE HEAVENS.
THE RAINBOW IN THE WOMB
I AM THE JOY IN THE SILVER STARS
THAT SHINE IN THE NIGHT SKY
AUM.
THIS IS THE END.
AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING.
