"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?"
COVID LONELINESS
WHETHER ELDER IN A REST HOME
or quarantined in one's own home
or tested in a hospital/hospice
with no visitors because of Covid
Might be a mask mandate
in school ,airport,workplace
Creating distances between us
Two years stretches an eternity
Have we forgotten conversation/gaiety?
All our gatherings in society?
Do not speak of NORMAL/NEW NORMAL/we
may never be as we were pre-plague
Songs of silence for the lost/departed
Songs of grieving for the gaps between us
Songs of yearning for our times together
After Covid loneliness departs..
