"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!!"

GOOD EARTH EMBRACES
EYE JUST RELEASE
Lay on the grass.Stare up at
blue
Visualize silence.Edit
traffic/jets/neighbors
Catch that all must be in
net.Fish,sharks,snakes.
Embrace roar of train rattle bone yard tracks
coal carry
Hold sky tracking fracking split infinitives
ending life sentences with prepositions
All goes in the stone
soup-rocks,pebbles,broken glass ,avalanches
Earthquakes,floods,gridlock,disabled immune
systems
Plastic outlives us.Chemical solutions.Even
wild rivers suntan oils.
BP Gulf of Mexico.Bhopal.Forget?Black skies
&waters.
Water on fire.Earth opens up.Holes.Fall into
deep meditations.
That village burning?It is us/it is our own
heart on fire...
