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!!"

SUCH A LITTLE THING
TIME(GRAND FATHERED,CLOCKED,BLOCKED
Ancestors
in chains of family plots
Photographs
stacked away in vaults
Slim
thin images of memories locked
within
the skin of survivors/lots are lost
even
within harbors of healing/young come
to
walls of denial/authority irrational/challenge
until
they become the wall/bricked golden Pink Floyd
wizards
and wishes wilted/wizened by dull passages/shriveled/shrunk
until
all desire is commodified/product BUY!/denied /deified/destroyed
via
limits/laws/imploring
change yet lifelines remain a cage/golden retirement
ends
confront us/limitation when/we reach out -only to find our dreams
left
just
before dawn stormtroopered Inquisition.Out of uniform
we
are still undercover/waiting for moon and night and stars to illumine
further
to
make more time to uncover and discover mysteries of imagination
Pirate
Treasures buried in gardens-wild flowers,colorful and disobedient
bending
in the wet weather winds yet never ever being broken...
