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)

OM ON THE GAS RANGE
Grass rises weed high
even in this sleet and rain
Chill bones rattle skin
within art drums beating
Outside black night weather
No stars/just clouds of crowds
We get swallowed up in motion
Where hear and know asks only YES!
There is nowhere else to go
Except where you are and be
This dream was shared with sermon me
Luckily,eye slept all the way through

All i heard was "Grass rises..
