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?"

PILGRIM
AS SOON AS YOU WALK OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR
You change. Worlds change. All the worlds come out to greet you.
Here comes Buddha, meditating again .Here is the Dalai Lama.
Just by being who they are, our worlds go deeper. Sign on the bus says FURTHER.
But you have to move.So the worlds can change their colors.Blood red to sky blue.
Black death to pink health.Trance formations happen,when you mix 
the alchemy of what has happened before-with the folklore of this moment.
Futures open in this moment. Doorways.Pathways.Labyrinths.
Your eyes absorb. Your nostrils smell the incense.
You are fully present. In every moment.
You are a pilgrim.

...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.
