"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!!"

THREADED, BOUND
STORIES BIND US-weather,people,good(and hard)times
Anecdotes
and incidents-times when we called
and
only a bird flew by.Dream mornings and starring Heaven skies.
Laughter
absurd responding to earned tears.Whispers in ears
to
find us eye to eye.We agree!And even when not-we respect-
difference,divergence.Difficulties
audition us.Those who pass
camels
through eagles' eyes get to dance in space and time.
Rest
dilute -memories and photographs.Footsteps on a beach.
We
will be in hole in bucket time.We will not be for forgetful fog.
When
the gaps between become larger than smiles and laughter
we
try to remember,then follow like flags and bunting
Canoes
down a peaceful river,never knowing of waterfalls
around
blind corners...
