"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!!"

CHILL
DIPPING INTO DARKEST WINTER
Light a stranger(unless fire
warmth &hearth to heat us
make immune from cold
and chill of seasons
Ladle soup and harvest greens
Fill us in our bed of dreams
Starlight guide us,until Old
Sol
returns to burn a brighter path
Then snow will be a story told to
children
Ice some laughter music
tinkling
as melt and river run to Spring
when Green returns,to merge with
Golden
Burnish bright our future Light/until
Zen
Huddle under blankets /burrow deeper
in
Tis the season /hot teas,warm
soups,
Dreams of Hiber
Nation
