"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!!"

ask me what eye see
VISTAS
Ear asked eye"What can you
hear?"
Eye replied to ear"What can you
see?"
Bee and fly wide screen visions,dog hears
extended sounds
Our hearing less between city
distractions
Our eyes lose both history and
context
Baby fresh as skin,age
diminishing
Gathering ye rosebuds,then dispersing
benefices
Leap of gap/ times between being born and
leaving
Some spin out unwind traveling
vistas
Some sit still,meditating interior
visions
Some dream new ways through old
labyrinths
Some become labyrinthine,assimilating
complexities
You have vistas within that no one else has
ever seen
Images corrode over time,assume adumbrated
outlines of dreams
Formats change.We grow silent,hum,speak,sing
and scream
Everything becomes a vision.Another
vista.New path to old waterfalls..
