THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling writes: 

"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!!"

SERENITY IS !-HEAR?

WITHIN

inside your auricles

inside your cerebellum

inside your blood /which streams constantly

thanks to your peaceful (s)he/art

both beyond and within

both around,above ,below

Peace may not be as entertaining-

slow deep river to a deeper ocean

White moon changing as we circle dance

All that is singing in a primal lovefeast

Banquets of Wilderness!Forests of song leaves!

Golden as sunlight,stolen as kisses

This Temple time ,of counted pulsebeats

Tolls bells when you hear them in the heart of flowers

Chimes of echoes,ripples,resonance

Turning all weeds into herbal teas

All wounded into healing warriors..
