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!!"

STILL
WALK DREAMING TRAILS
curling
smoke from elder's fires
smudging
sage /waving feathers
drinking
in blessings each cup day
water
friendship flows between rock and stream
waves
away.Within-circling hawk,circles,spiral smoke
holy
herb and healing plant.When words burn,apply softer truths
HOW
IT IS STILL
Carry
home food photos images bright smiles
Light
as air curved formed forming signals intentions
charged
particles a VISA into others' souls/spirit talk
in
bubble wrapped stories/shared as rations to those starved
for
a dose of truth,harmony,happiness and health in their boxed lives.
DRINKING
STILL
Lamb
a memory,bright as the eyes of Nile Cafe
Dolmates/baklava/spanakopita/moussaka
still sing
within
intestinal beaming.How food as blessing and release-
a
gift from one who gives(more than the obvious.Still
We
are still imbibing this feast-and will,until..
