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?" 

SPIRITS ON CAVE WALLS

MODERN MURALS(EVEN TAGGING

have ancestral /celestial origins.Wandjina sky-beings

are depicted as we would aliens in Spielberg movies.

Large heads,small bodies,distinctive eyes.Some urge to depict

creates links between others and ourselves/surviving on cave walls

Cave and fire,color and art combine to share 

that which does not come from here-yet visits..

Our eyes and telescopes still strain for signs

of "new" planets,stars,suns,solar systems.

Our movies are full of aliens and sky people

Our walls are now IMAX screens.Our dreams science fiction

Our worlds morph and merge with dreams and visions

as old as cave,fire,color and art on walls of cities-

graffitti,tagging ,murals all speak the same visual language-

Sky-people live among us,and the best we can do

is paint,draw,film and represent them

Understanding takes millenniums/we are millennia...
