"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!!"

WAITING FOR RAINS/CHANGE
with one million moments now mere memories
held
and sustained as breathe/is less
and
even response seems passe.Just "to be is all"
i check the rain
barrel(empty-there is a hole here
requiring
attention/and a wild weed lawn that needs
so
i sleep /meditating thunderstorms.Dry here-
in
the Hill Country=soft,gentle,strings of puppet rain
To
the West-hail and blundering promised like peace in wartime
In
this South,under skyclouds,we know this is passing
Yet
,humid,clammy,close,we also know we do not know
So
instead of death,we exchange recipes and share weather news
Lying
optimists smile snakes in Eden/selling wisdom apples
You
KNOW it is a pomegranate!You eat the treatment
Learn
true weakness.Alternatives of healthy living
for
new initiates.Hard stone road to eat apples
to
the very core of your being.Edgar Cayce did not wish to be a healer
Who
said it is someone else who heals?
