THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 within 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?"

"SLEEPING"

HALF MY LIFE IS WATER

The other half is sand

The two go out together

like tides for full moons

HALF MY LIFE IS FIRE

The other half is air

The two exist together

Without one,the other glares

HALF MY LIFE IS METAL

The other half is wood

They exist together

Building/bonded/alchemical

HALF MY LIFE IS OVER

Half my life awaits

These fragments i can share with you

are just the time it takes
