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?"

WALK THIS SOFT ROAD WITH ME-
Where we imbibe the same air, waters, earth, times,
Come to different and divergent conclusions, yet find
Harmony in diversity. Resilience is adaptation.
We do so in each moment. Breathe in, then out again.
Every release a re-lease. I want you to BREATHE WITH ME-
Deeply, consciously, well. To not take anything or anyone for granted.
To Bless this Moment as a Gift. Many things will be lost on this path-
Mostly memories. They shed like skin, like dandruff. Like transients, like snowflakes.
May we be lost together ,so as to learn the Unknown, in good company
And to make all frozen nouns into verbs and participles
And never stop from moving-like air and water, sky and fire-
Together..

...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.
