Rob Ayling writes: "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!!"

SAND AND
you cannot think of desert without water.Oasis defines
us
Travel
to White Sands (not the nuclear testing site).Think-Robinson Crusoe
Arenophiles
love the angle of repose-the way sand self sifts/sorts itself.
Some
sell colored /layered sands in jars to tourists/some sand
sculptures/castles
Sedimentologists
praise sand as core of glass,concrete,silicon chips and most jewelry.
Fracking
steals sand.Most beaches are eroding.Wtihin sand- meiofauna invertebrates
Sable
dans l'engrenage.Liminal spaces define us.Beach as bridge and barrier to
seas.
"I
must go down to the sea again..""The Universe in a grain of sand.."
Landing
on your next beach-remember-leave only photographs and footprints...
