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?"
ORDINARY/EXTRA-ORDINARY
SEPARATE BUT NOT EQUAL
Hannukah is not Advent is not Saturnalia and Yule
is not Solstice is not Kwanzaa is not even Festivus
Skies ablaze with celestial Events-conjunctions not seen for 800 years
Seriously Significant days and nights-we sleep through them
Astrologers/Numerologists seek to Awaken us
to connections arcane and obvious.Moon/water/monthly cycles...
Sun/solar/sunstorms.Stars in Constellations from which our stardust began.
Astronomers chart far past our naked eyes visions.Telescopes fail us(unless Hubble..
Just to see Earth from a moonrise.Hunger of frontiers.Cold and dark as Winter..
Hence our primal need-for food and warmth,heat and Light
Whatever name you call it-May we Carol and Carouse..WASSAIL!!
