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)

PEACE STILL CALLING!
WOODSTOCK RESPONDING!
Sharing one earth means sharing one's water/air/home/land
And then the walls must fall/so we can all call to each other
and actually hear each other.No need for posthumous Paradises
when we are living and as alive as every element we deny.
Sacred sites evoke collective memories that call us deeply
We remember images/emotions succinctly
We think of water as a mother/land as brother/nothing as other
We are all in this together..Come and be the future!
