"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!!"

IT HAPPENS
EACH NIGHT,WE SIT DOWN
review
the ones we know and love-
their
state of health and sanity
what
they may need in terms of poetry-
a
visit/hug/some food/a dose of money
Most
are non-materialists/many in poor health
More
are diabetic or impending Alzheimer's
facing
operations with no support around.
The
little fires warm us most-a nod,a cheer,a hug
When
we meet,my thin Buddha friend
wants
a hug to hold in mind
the
truth that we are all bound together
What
he finds when so close-is trust
and
a grounding in the truth of us
