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!!" 

SO I WAKE UP AND OUT FROM THIS DREAM

HUGE MOON -round,full,powerful

i am near a Lake- iridescent with shimmering

i enter the lake .Calm.Deep.

Moon enters with me

We sport and dip and rise and fall

as stars were once supposed to

(until we found out we are always moving

as is every thing we see and fell and know and say

and an ocean of all that we do not...)

i leave for land.Safe.Warm.Shake like a dog shakes off water.

Lay down upon the moon grass and think stars.
