Rob Ayling writes: 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?"
COUNTING STARS
YOU WERE COUNTING STARS (in the mirror of the
sky
When you saw falling stars/a Meteor
Shower/flash slash of comet
(all of this has happened before-but you were
not here to witness
(all stars which are not actually
"falling"/just bursting to our semi-automatic attention
Perfect night!It was another perfect night
within an interlinked relationship
waking up to closed systems/Borders/bodies of
stars extinguished
Light was everywhere!Flash of fire,candles in
streets,even the Eiffel dark
until you realized accountancy might not
sustain our night skies.
You determined to praise each butterfly
star-in their historic shimmering
To break the sleep of distractive
"entertainment" /of artificial stars
To awaken to refugee stars outside your
door,wanting shelter
So you walked out into a changed sky.Counted
aircraft,spy satellites,submarines
Wondered when Life might be supported and
subsidized as much
as every forgotten falling star/every meteor
shower/every child washed ashore
like stars in the mirror of your
eyes.
