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?"

CALLING FOR COMPANIONS

PASSING THROUGH 

I AM HERE (BUT NOT FOR LONG)

My ancestors sang this song

and now i do not have them

to sing along. I recall 

sand particles,but not the Pyramids

Waves but not the beach.

Journeys but not all. I am only particle.

Wave Theory is true for every wave

Particle Theory true for every Particle.

Journeys true for those who embrace them

And you are as true as we believe you to be

Parts of me get stuck in Pasts

that fall away into the Dark.

My Spark as Temporary as Fireflies.

I adapt to circumstance-dance 

with, then without ,masks on-Stage 3 then Stage 4 song

Want y'all to sing along

But you are cynical,believe nothing at all

Say that science is conspiracies

Want to Resurrect Trump Autocracies

But the very freedom you are abusing 

you would not get under him.

Me?i am here ,grounded in this moment

I lose my pasts and futures in it

'And when i turn to speak with you

I want you to BE HERE TOO!
