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!!"

ELDERS
you are a tree that has grown
from
sapling -watching,waiting,witnessing
into
a brave storm tossed standing
in
a forest of friends,each one elders and antiques
breathing
the same air,standing on the same earth
age
enhances them.wisdom and experience.
everywhere
you look-you start to see them-trees!'
standing
to attention/aware and growing golden
in
the light of a golden sky.We have been this way since seedlings
More
will grow when planted -in seasons
that
affirm all cellular growth-all natural,organic aerial intelligences
Birds
weave among us.They nest and rest,prepare to wing this world
Swing with it!
