"Thom the World poet, is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

Walk by ocean, river, desert
Attracted by light - the way it forms in shapes, small
you
carry in your palm a concrete poem.
It
will remind you where you have been.
You
may take her home, and place her on a pedestal.
She
will sing the seas, a river's depth, sand stories.
Wherever
you were once has turned to stone
You
will, too - it is just the passing of time. Rock reminds us -
we
are temporary time travelers. Release the rock!
Release
yourself!
