"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 and 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!!"

YOU KNOW
IT IS (K)NOT THAT WE CANNOT MOVE
ON
Hijacked via mortality,we occupy timed
seats
Look@the empty spaces where those we loved
sat
Recall their smiles,passionate
adventures,actions
Each of us in a room with a projector
on
screening different memory
movies
(many more forgotten).Kindnesses
linger-
remembrance of soft in a time of
hard,
gentle in a time of force,wise when
intemperate voices
shouted down the (k)new.You know those
passed
who cannot speak for themselves.Once they
sang-
now we need carry their voices/choices into
this second-hand day
and trust the night will know it's own
stars..
FOR ALL WHO EVER LOVED
