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?

IF YOU ARE NIGHT & I AM DAY

Let us exchange skins straight away

i shall be moon and visible stars (historic

You can be solar-powered

Of course,i will always reflect you!

Of course,i will have a dark side

Of course we will always dance in orbits

changing shape and distance simultaneously

Of course,we are celestial bodies

with histories of collisions  and burn

bright for the benefit of others

Because we can.Because we must.

Because it will always be-within our true Natures..
