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?
PRAYER IN IMPOSSIBLE TIMES
TO WHATEVER (OR
WHOEVER)CARES
Petitioning clear consciousness through
the fog of faux news
Being /projecting peace and love when
they have become brand names
Sharing and co-operating when
competition kills
Like birds do,winging their way without
maps or GPS
Like bats do,with their proclivity for
devouring mosquitoes
Like water does,flowing till it is
blocked dammed or stopped
Till it transforms into rain or
ice,snow or fog or mist
This is how we transform,to be among
others(like a song on the lips
Repeated/remembered because it serves
an intrinsic purpose
Giving praise to all that animates life
and lets us live
in ways as brave as salmon leaping
waterfalls
bees defying gravity/dolphins and
whales
deciding NOT to beach their
brightness,but teach us their true SEA WORLD
which is ocean,sea and shore-all free
as far as waves can take us all..a way..
