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!!"

FROM A GIANT'S LEAPING DISTANCE
DANCING AMONG STARLIGHT
like
a firefly on heat
little
illuminations sustain
someone's
on fire!is that me?
This
sand i hold in my hand
another
Buddhist colored yantra
This
water trickling well?
Scry
,tie ribbons/wish wishes
Tiny
flags flutter Nepal/Tibet
Prayer
flags of your hands
among
these stars-small,obvious
But
to ants-we are all boots /blunderers
O
Gulliver !O Lilliput!Small IS beautiful
Every
cliche is a home for the desert to leave sand
and
step into stardust!
