"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!!"

PATHS FOR PILGRIMS
through to or from deserts/to sacred springs,wells,oases
to
holy mountains ,led by stars /comets/meteors
Astrologers,magicians,aligned
with spirit paths
divine
pathways towards enlightenment
away from
persecution/making holy what already is-
water,earth,stone,fire(each
has gods aplenty already-
yet
each singular pilgrim prophet is revered @separate altars
Stories
are told(often and posthumous)about their journeys
Each
day,you make and take a Pilgrim's Path -
through
work and play/relationships call
to
make new visions on old walls
To
make a One out of Each,Every and All
Above,Below,Within,Without..each
step a prayer and affirmation
Every
Pilgrim's Progress a destination
