"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!!"

IS, WAS AND SOON
PASSING OF A POET
do
your words dim as your Light fades?
do
ears grow dull now you cannot speak?
does
the dimunition of your powers lessen ours?
do
you review as we are meant to-
to
count each line as prayer,peace,petition?
Will
more than a few turn to you in your leaving
and
say prayers of praise and recognition?
To
know you as you are-human,learning
Leaving
only skin behind,and teaching/
for
you-no death,no fear.All IS,and you are part
and
apart from /every melting snowdrop moment
Every
river seeking sea.Every gravity&levity..
as
you pass through-can we see and say these waves to you?
Soon
to leave our conscious lands..thank you for peace
in
passing and in passion.Thank you again.
