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!!"

COME!
WE WILL BE GONE SOON
ENOUGH
Forgetfulness brushes us
off
Dust and dirt will overtake your
shirt
We will be planted soon
enough
Come out of the house and the
work and the wind
will show you where it has
been/all these years
practicing for harvests and
horrors/filling sails and graves
with equality.Tides rush their
white curling skirts
flirt with beaches of time.Mind
and eyes hold small flowers
Larger gardens await
Emperors.There will always be time
and parking
spots,synchronicities/coincidences/happy accidents
Underneath the flow,subterranean
waters know.Go with the current!
Rio Grande or Colorado.There is
always somewhere else to flow!
