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?"

UNLEARNING LONELINESS 

SOLITARY CAN BE A PUNISHMENT

If Chosen-a Path to Perfection

To Meditate,do Tai Chi,Focusing by choice

Opens up the Lotus of Enlightenment

Your (He)Art is a Flowering Garden of Delights

Make Weeds into Medicines,Tinctures,Teas

Even one flower can emerge through concrete

Even if your tears become a river

Choose to see all walls as Initiations

That open when you walk through them

Limits may not be the way they are

More the way you choose to perceive them..

Alone is not lonely.One is a wonder.

Be who you really are.Today,not tomorrow.
