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?"

AIMS, GOALS, LIMITS
TIME,ENERGIES,ABILITIES
You may head North
but your compass heart goes South
You may need many lifetimes to learn
The limits of one mortal lifeline
You may be Sun Bright,Moon Mellow,Star Child-
yet your constellations await deeper space telescopes 
to locate,plumb and define your spinning parameters.
All that you are might not be enough(in this one life)
to navigate domestic contradictions,or find your true purpose..
How much time does it take-to realize time is a limit?
On your life bed(or death bed)-do you weigh your soul with a feather?
Or gather more feathers to become a bird and fly away?
Above and beyond all contradictions-into a Unity of Opposites
Where all Sub-Personalities - become One Unified Field of Consciousness
And you cannot speak this to anyone
Who does not already know..

...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.
