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)

SLEEP DEEP
IN a world without words
Mime ruled
All differently abled
Adapted.
We would communicate
Empathically.A genial silence
would assist.Psychics
would transmit emotions
to consenting sentients.
This happens already in dreams
(many of which are silent movies-
why would we seek speech
when cats can get what they want

with scratches,meiaows and body language?
