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?

EVERY GARDEN IS WALDEN
#WHICH THOREAU VISITED ONLY ON WEEKENDS
Those who work know this mode of meditation-
to refresh in green to deal with gray
to moon write nights to deal with dull days
and when Light leaves,to slow until it returns
To gather twigs and sticks so you can burn
midnight oil and still be warmed by words
reassuring as gardens to resolve within
Timelessness and birdsong
Sweetness of the air surrounding waterfalls and fountains
Another Path that appears in stillness.Yet another-in motion
A third-in between the silences..More-within the music..

...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.
