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?"

DON'T FENCE ME IN!

I am bison-watch me roam

prairies and grasslands all life long

with only this land as my song

I am wolf in wilderness

My natural habitat affords me shelter

And lives that my life relies upon

I am so many creatures that resist a wall-

jaguar,puma,Monarch Butterfly migrations

We dig around  or under or flip-flap fly over

Welcoming other refugees and migratory patterns

Re-green and Re-wild  all that is Natural

Don't Fence Me In!These Walls will fall-

leaving you,trapped within..

SOME EVENTS CHANGE US-

8 Billion with PTSD.Pandemics re-asserting variants.

Poor health and limited mobility.Hard to find soft comfort and grace

until Spring.Sunshine.Wildflowers-and the company of friends

Conversation flows again as it once did pre-pandemic

We sit closer than six feet apart.Half of us have no masks.

We are slowly getting back together.Despite icestorm weather politics,

regressive actions against diverse peoples,hatred masquerading as news,

and genial gentle folk shrinking against public violences..But now-

music song poetry people -together,affirmed,smilingly..Small steps

towards a future we can live in,by sharing a present moment
