THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, 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 and 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 within 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?"

EPHEMERA

FALSE GODS DEMAND OBEDIENCE-

Those who seek power ,immortality,dominion and control

over weather,earth,sky,seas-and us.We who simply wish to be

become art,and replicate happiness,contentment ,equanimity.

A secret we share with consenting co-creators!Audiences

wish stars above themselves-to gossip about and character assassinate.

We need clear clean waters of inspiration,air worthy of the re-breathing

and an earth that always was a wilde garden.We all get what we feel-

immersed in a continuing dream that allows each flower and weed equality.

Omnia Mutantur.Festina Lente.Gods of Worry and of Work retire eventually.

Leaving slow time,deep dreams,gentle pleasures to come in as welcome guests..
