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!!"

PART OF MY LIFE IS GONE
S/HE IS NOT RETURNING
I
have new emotions moving in now
and
they are bringing their own furniture
If
i evict them prematurely,i will never know them fully
If
i do not go where they lead,i may never know them in me
If
i simply allow them space,maybe they might teach me
how
to live without a need to control(anything or anyone-
how
to just be in a drowning dervish whirl-
dance
with angels on the head of a pin
Please
know i am emotion now.I do not resist/nor desist
Assimilation,integration
are my allies
We
seek the geography best via filtered feelings
Eye
am not numb,dumb,nor dangerous
Eye
am meditating,emoting,breathing my way through this
I
do not know the end of this process
This
may take all my lives
just
to get through
the
labyrinth
of
losses
