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!!"

CREAK OF CHAIRS
TRIBE OF SHADOWS(you know them!
they
smile /light mirror lake sky stars
one
falls(Nelson-long expected)Mandela
Bundled
like blankets in winters embrace
we
stumble bee honey heavy among drowsy flowers
Music
begins.When it stops,we start.Leave a space
i
saw you dancing in the meadow by the warm gas light
(even
the mountain murmured thanks)There is only ever
never
and forever-all wrapped in paper from replenished forests
These
were seeds of songs you planted long before-
all
the secret worlds know your public name
All
the private worlds seek your secrets.Easy!The Dance Of Stars!
