"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?"
THERE IS NEVER SILENCE
THERE ARE ALWAYS STARS
Above,sprinkled infinities of time-hatched light
Historically sharing their past tense
Looking UP! horizon to horizon
Deeper night reveals spy satellites,blinking planes
All coated with a distant grumble of clouds
Early blue is all glare.Sun searchlighting everywhere
Scorched earth desertscapes absorb/reflect
As every traveler must.To be in silence,and not
For what hot wind stirs spinifex grasses
What sand lizard moves ,slow as time
What rock snake sleeps,seeing
What dream before we enter in.
