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?"

CONTINUANCE
EVERY MORNING,GRATITUDE &GRACE
Review the changes,adjust the gains-
We are still here.All is still possible.
Elders /Ancestors as examples
of what (not) to do in our time
Allies,accomplices enjoin us-
Life is not a crime.The forms it takes
extend us in our life.We move like waves
Wave to birds and satellites.At night-stars and moon
seem stationary when we are still.Only when we move
do we notice -the way we see things changes too.This is
a moving experience-like every uncounted breath
Every action,every leaf of the World Tree
We are still growing.Branches of families.Nests of birds.
Even our roots sing underground.Sound meets silence-
and choral harmonies abound.Hear them?

...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.
