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?

WINDOWS
HE USED TO CLEAN WINDOWS FOR A LIVING
Van Morrison has a song"When I am cleaning windows"
When flying,i always sit in the window seat
It gives me an illusion of freedom.To stare out@clouds
as we pass through or above them.The clearer your eye's windows
the sharper your perception.Inner eyes see more-
the way you intuit events,and perceive how people will respond.
It does not need a virtual app to let you know your glasses need cleaning.
Same with your house.To see out,drop the dust of attitude.
To see within,release all expectations.When the windows of your world are clear

what you see might align with what actually is..

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
