"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 appearances 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!!"

40 YEARS, 40 WINGS
and still we are only beginning
circle
from a drop into the river
emanates
out like the call of a haiku frog
in
the sonnet of a rainforest
where
colors are as natural as skin
and
we become adepts at gathering
those
of particle consciousness that embody us
(we
in another skin/another dream)
Sing
us together,under banners and causes
like water and fog
mountains,river and clean food
We
are part of each other in the rock of our flying
through
these years of our knowing there is always more to grow
We
are illegal as laughter in the lawcourts of loving
Sing
us as tribe and family and clan.We are together again!
FOR
NIMBIN and all her world citizens.-a Thom Song
