"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!!"

WINGS
each bird comes equipped
some
ground dead
gratitude
for nests
and
trees sustaining us
bird.pond.beak
eye
gleam beneath
missing
anarchist birdsongs
who
scored?
invisibly
sustained
windchimes!
Forgetting
starts small
then
covers all
Moon
reveals surfaces
Hides
its dark
Bird
tree marriage
made
in sky clouds
Whoever
sings best
gets
new wings!
