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!!"

SINGING STONES
Magnetized to story stones,singing stones,stones that skip across
waters
held in hands by generations,and,soothed by passage of womb waters
by a beach,within reach-hold them as your lovers.In your hands,held
again
take them home to discover-space and time will unwind/as stories in the
singing stones
Others may remark -upon their shape and patterns.Meantime,in the
Dreamtime
rocks are gathering with pebbles-to create a story avalanche.Be
prepared!
You cannot hold back tales.They will sing out loud/they will shout into the
crowd!
They will last longer than their "owner".Worship,then release Zen-to some
Japanese rock garden
Time is a stone in water.
