"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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!"

FROM LIVERPOOL TO THE WORLD
for any life-only a jigsaw piece puzzle-add birth to
love
add
music,a band,breakup,marriage,breakup,religion,breakout
benefits,film,retrospectives,melodies,harmonies,fame
,withdrawal-
all
those hidden chapters in other lands ,homes,loves,times
Until
all that is left is what we hum and remember-
a
theme of a song on the lips,a sitar sweetly strung
a
happiness associated with a tune that was SOMETHING once
and
for now all time stops-and we are young again
in
a time when waters of song poured forth fresh and clean and clear
We
do not have to look back-we are here
And
George smiles one more time,as he plays
while
his guitar gently weeps..any road will open
be
here now..hare krishna..govinda..all those years ago..
if
you needed someone..my sweet lord..
