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)

SACRED, SCARED
you can visit /but you cannot stay
no home in a rainforest/nor Stonehenge/nor Salisbury Plain
Perhaps camp @Findhorn for a time/or Nimbin/Andes/Pyramid zone/Cornwall/Arnhem Land
Initiates seek Sacredness to deal with Emptiness/trust that glow will translate
into Epiphanies/Vision Quests/Illuminations(not just Fire Dance
Meditating on mountaintops stopped via topped snow
Deserts kill via distances,oceans via depth
Who can tell whale and dolphin to avoid each beach?
How speak to bulldozer chain toppling tall trees?
Some walls protect/some confine villages
Intention is a primary Spirit Medicine
Aligned will power attunes to Highest Outcome
Watch as forests/cities become
Evolution?Devolution?Both?None?

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
