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?"
DUTCH POETS SAID IT BEST
POETS NEED BE TRANSPARENT
To be seen through, with limits and flaws
like Japanese gold pottery.
We are affects, not Cause
Every word a pirate seeking booty
Every dream a lie. We are only here
until a Greater Truth supplants us.
Provisional. Tentative. Alive.
Once we are gone, our works forgotten
(Forgotten in our own lifetime)
Some may sift through what we say
for the fool's gold, iron pyrites find.
What is precious and held by heart-
Rumi,Hafiz,Kabir,Mary Oliver,Lalla
because it resonates with our lives
We know forgetfulness always wins
It is always a matter of time
Do not bother to read this last line...
