"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!!"

SACRED WATERS
Gift from earth -a fluid deep kiss
weakened
by need-pumped to exhaustion
Drink!Before
the flow is no longer
bare
bone drought hole next to a golf course
While
well springs forth,bless this gift
release
the flow from chains and contracts
Water
will find your thirst and fill it
Cypress
Creek village knows and needs this
Before
Blue Hole becomes a fenced entertainment
Consider
its source-with reverence and respect
Let
Jacob's Well flow low and freely
to
meet the real needs of community
