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?"
LIVES IN THIS (OUR)AIR LIKE A CHESHIRE CAT
His sense of humor will live forever
You see him smiling at his Golf Tournament Benefit
Always his spirit in the air of Tablerock
Whether it be facilitating SALADO LEGENDS
or assisting with A CHRISTMAS CAROL
or FRIGHT TRAIL,or building the Concession Stand
Retired three times from engineering projects
Beloved by his closest friend Jackie for over 52 years
Admired and respected by anyone who came near
For Denver Mills was and is a perennial spirit
Who returns to be with us whenever we most need him
(We will always need him-and that is why his smile is with us now..)
Bemused by humanity,and always fixing whatever needs repair
(Which is all of us,from time to time-and that is why
Denver's smile is with us now,remains with us,adds to all our lives
Like a burst of Texas wildflowers by the side of Salado highways..
