"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!!"

HEAT O THE MOON,COOL OF THE SUN
One day our one star will
extinguish
It will burn like Edna St Vincent
Millay
Stronger than Outback /cold dark
stillness
We may hear music /before that
blast
Billions of years in a bumble
bee
Hundreds in every hornet
Sting is in the details
We will not be alive to die
Before you leave-you grieve
After you are forgotten,you might not
return
Life is a leaf in a storm of
winds
Space is a lesson to learn.In
time
we will run out-of resources,ownership and
fame
Then we might finally understand
these gifts that snuffed out like a
flame.
