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?"

INTENTION IS NOT RESULTS

CAUSE IS NOT EFFECT

Distances between may cause mirrors to swerve

Optical the illusion.Hallucination the drug.No guarantees.

You must not trust thugs.Edges meet and talk about your Quest.

Even they are dubious about Eternities.Perhaps our best

belongs to another parallel Uni-Verse,wherein and whereby

all we have learned is a hair on a gnat.Tiny as Men in Black.

We levitate and meditate simultaneously.Rise in levity.

Defeated by the gravity of the situation.What can words say?

More than sounds,privy only to consonance.More than silence,

which is a plethora of significances.There are words,and we need them.

Gaps between haunt us like fallen skydivers.The place where we are

changes.As does context.If we go back to where we started,

a new labyrinth moves in,obscuring both weather and intention.

Goodness CAN live in this fractured frantic world.It just needs

love care and context.All else fails significance.Breathe .Deeper.
