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!!"

WHEN THE WILDE  COMES&ENTERS

WE ARE FILLED WITH STRANGE WONDERS

Energies of waterfalls and salmon defying gravity/

bumblebees flying weights on tiny wings

Science disputes every particle of what you are feeling

When that cassowary  could have attacked

or that fish bit your knee

or sounds of snake slithering alerted

you could be a casualty.When whirlwinds took possession

of the dust and earth and air/all gravity suspended

Is that your house up there?Miniature mites ,ticks,bug bites

Mosquito with a plague.Tiny deaths define us.Only some are saved

Remember our fragility when science claims her wonders

There is much in this wilde world we have yet to uncover!
