"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!!"

TO LOVE THE BROKEN
THEY SAY TO LOVE
those who have lost
is to pick up where someone left
off
Half a meal/just walked out
Burned bread/broken arts
Half of an avalanche
To persist in love
is to trace a path
through wilderness
to a Lake of Silence
where speech silver sinks
and Lotus lives on surface
Beauty is only what you see,
feel-and experience
in every fiber of your beaming
