"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 DAY AFTER
Talk is of DIETS and
DEATHS
those who left us as we climb
in to
an allegedly
"New"Year.Post-Party we
ask "what WERE we
celebrating?
For me-the dark,cold,quiet
stillness
Sanctuary night from intrusive
sound and lighting
Moments of reflection-to see
the way i'm driving
Drunk on the past,leery of the
Unknown
Between worlds of day and
darkness
Eye steal back pools of
mirrors
Ask them 'why tears?"@the
missing
They do not know that they are
gone..
