"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!!"

YOUR EYES - STARLIGHTNING
cheeks=moonglow.Aspects of space/time and distance
leave
trace marks each day's astrology column
Astronomers
name and define celestial objects and orbits
Astronauts
seek to contact other signs of supporting life forms
Athletes
train for ever -or a written contract
And
here you are-creating traffic jams
with
false reports of levitation /when wings are in short supply
and
Trader Joe's wants bags on Christo mountaintops
We
are tied to every object /human/consciousness
past/present/future-with
gaps in time for contemplation/meditation
Remember
she who dwelt by mountains to gain their strength?
He
who sat on top of mountains to meditate higher
They
who pilgrim to Shasta,Fuji,Uluru,Andes,Sedona
to
feel the full intensity of primal earth powers
Our
little lives are ants beneath their boots
Our
sway as varied as a weather exchange
Remember
who you really are
Facebook
is empty promises
