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?"

THRESHOLD CHOIRS

SINGING TO THE LIVING

While you are here,you have yet to cross the threshold

Every breath sustains your search.Every step both towards and away.

You may find consonant spirits along the way,who may sing with you

If you are lucky they will sing to you/luckier when they sing for you

Luckiest when the song is on everyone's lips,and the band includes every body.

Pulse beats through one Uni-verse.Stars beam out over time

Light is a language all darkness welcomes.We cross Borders when alive

You are moving.You are a moving experience.Others will travel with you,

to you,because of you there are others still singing the future in.

One by one we will all be gone.Our time for singing

is every time we sing-together or alone

Song changes every thing..

Singing to the Dying

They're called the Threshold Choir, because they come to sing to people at the last threshold of life.
