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?"
SUNDAY'S QOHELET/KOHELETH
WINDS WHICH ONCE ESTABLISHED MARITIME EMPIRES
Made navies and million dollar yachts America's Cup
Still batter shorelines in tempests and in hurricanes
Even when the names change-they do not
Prevailing winds may assist THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
Brings Sir Walter Raleigh to the attention of Elizabeth
Skiffs and sailboats ,pleasure craft afloat
By courtesy of those winds which become thermals
lifting gliders to heights beyond earth's gravity
"BE AS THE WIND',Samurais say. Wind is always at play
in the fields of green and of gray. Turning giant turbines,
which slice winged migrations. Lifting sails across the Bay.
RUN LIKE THE WIND!-Singers to the Navajo runners.
Winds of Fortune or Winds of War. Patterns predicted by Almanacs and satellites.
We are GONE WITH THE WIND. Winded and wan. Let fresh winds be at your back
May bright winds lift you up. May you surf the winds of your only life-
until the next uplift comes along-STRONG AS THE WIND!
