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?"

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS IS  NO SECRET-
It is to have no secrets-to be clear/transparent
To be quite perfectly obvious-that you live in this moment
Fully ,sans nostalgia ,nor hungry for a future
It is enough to breathe(deeply,often and well-
and make each moment the bliss that it truly is..
Freed from the GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST
and from THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS YET TO COME
You may beam like the dying decaying sun
whose fervent frequent sunspots feed our melanomas
Reflect like a pale wan moon,littered with space shots
Leading astrologers to Christmas stars-significant celestial events
which belong to this age we are all breathing in-MIRACULOUS!

...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.
