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?"
ENCHANTED ROCK
NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE
So he sat on Enchanted Rock with me
and played his flute-gently,slowly..
Heat and the rock and the green of the day
made the slow flight of turkey vultures hold sway
We sat until time stopped.Then saw the stillness change.
A thin roadrunner stretched her feet towards his flute,
coming as close as any wild creature may.He continued to play.
It seemed that thin bird leaped a little,moving to the motion
of the winged flute,and her dance as natural as the sky
We smiled,and watched,as that roadrunner strutted by
Amused,bemused and never knowing why
A flute and four eyes could conjure up fauna
to be so attracted as to dance on by.
