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?"
MUSICAL BIRD BARDS
THIS NIGHTINGALE?WE CALL HER
MARY
This mourning dove?Rumi!
This hawk?Kabir!This
pigeon?Sandburg
These sparrows?Lalla
&Mirabai
Owl?Rilke!Peacock?Tagore!Bluejay?Blake!
The singing tree?It has no
name
since on every branch-a
different song erupts in flame!
Trunk carries the bones of
singing birds
Leaves carry their bright songs
to earth
From birth each songbird holds
a message
Like wind in the hair of each
tree-caresses in wind melodies
It is the Conference of the
Birds unites us!
Each one a flag of different
origins and destinations
eagle,hawk,pigeon,sparrow-love,devotion,pain,sorrow
each tone a bell in the heart
for us
every good song deserves
chorus
sing with us!
So very beautiful – the poetry and
philosophy of Rilke, Rumi, Mary Oliver, and Tagore, set to
song
A
beautiful musical homage to the eternal dance of life and death.
