THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

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!
