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?"

THE RIDE
SIGN ON THE BUS SAYS 'FURTHER"
And that is where we are
Beyond all limits and all laws
Where others fear to tread
We are the living/we are not The Grateful Dead
When Art wants us to walk with her
We talk with her and perambulate further
When Love taps upon our door
'We open further.This is another Chapter
of our Memoir called THE BOOK OF GOING FORTH BY DAYLIGHT
It is as inclusive as breath and life,love and delight
And if words fail,the ride will explain
You are moving now
With Earth as this is Heaven
ENJOY THE RIDE!

THIS RIDE NEVER STOPS
Even when we get off
It lasts all life
And then the next
Antidote to death
This conundrum always
How can we thrive?
Come alive?
When all we do
is ride?

...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.
