THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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 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!!" (The wondrous poetpic is by Jack McCabe, who I hope forgives me for scribbling all over it with Photoshop)

LIVING NEAR WATER

a Lake. Stillness. Silence. Wind. Trees. Calm

a creek.fast splash to trickle thin.laughing waters

a river. Slow. Moving. Changing with weathers.

a waterfall.Constant fountaining.Air water hair .

a beach.waves.seagulls.moontides

a forest.shadows.tall neighbors.birdcalls

rainy areas. fog. mist. Twilight Zones

near mountains.held in the arms of earth.

by being close.you absorb/transmit.

by becoming water you change-

become creek, river, lake, forest, beach

older than time.sleep dream this.
