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 Thom'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?"

YOU HAVE A LIFE

It was given to you as a coat

You are not the only one

who has a coat

Not all of them are different

Not all of them are the same

Each day,you put a new coat on

It does not have to be new

It may be one you have worn before

You tell yourself"this is a new day"

Is EVERY day so"new?"

Do some experiences repeat.Repeat?

Are any two events ever the same?

THEY ARE NOT THE SAME

This is why we need storytellers

To tell the trees in the forest

to ignore bulldozers.
