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 Thom'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?"

THIS IS NOT FOR LATER

Later can wait.This is for you,me and this moment

Outside even the Cancer Wolf Moon is clouded

Inside,the room fills up with books of new poems

They do not care if any eyes seek them

They await the indeterminate act of dreaming

For,if every thing is conscious/and all of us are One

There is a story locked inside every Russian doll

And layers of onions ,and shales of Troy

dig up gold that once was anothers.

Her bones were once silver,her hair  all bright gold

Her painted nails something beyond bought and sold

No matter her years,no matter how old

She was made for her age,not anothers

Owners will change,like ashes and graves

become Real Estate hiding new horrors

All that we are is made for our time

Those who follow-must make their own stories
