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?"

WORTHY

A child can be told by scolding/scalding words

not to be heat.Not even be warm.Be Warned!

All limits and laws are proscriptions/temporary torments.

Outside the walls-of prisons,classrooms,rest homes,asylums

There is a sweet kiss of an unlicensed breeze-say,by the sea

And it whips you back into freedom,just as mountain air enlivens

Trees enjoy their own company.Elders,striplings,family branches.

There is another path -through cities,emotions,associations

Still another-solo,unique,where you speak only to you

When you listen(deeply)-you hear that mermaid singing-WORTHY!

Waves join in the chorus-WORTHY!Wind sweeps orchestras of wildness-WORTHY!

YOU ARE WORTHY!Even if you do not need any affirmations of wind or wave or waters

THIS CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE(@ANY TIME..You wake up.You sleep in..

You hear those mermaids singing each to each-YOU ARE WORTHY-TO GIVE LOVE!
