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?

STILLNESS
OUTSIDE,A TIDE OF RUSH
They must get somewhere
You are already here
The only question is-
which song will you sing?
In the stillness of a cup of tea
Brexit is a tiny boat,floating
In the sharing time with pets
Refugees wait outside.Next
is how you spend your life..
Each moment a door. Each night dream a window.
You may paint your sorrows, or sing them
You may choose blues or brilliant pastels
Colours become you. You are the artist of your moods.
Next Meditation is -what can you choose

to not do?

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
