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?"

HELEN GARNER IS A WONDROUS WRITER
Her Meditations on Happiness succinct and sweet
It is no Realm of Permanence-more a Hotel or Shelter for the Evening Shift.
Happiness requires focused attention-to sift and winnow for the Miracles
in the Miracle Play &Pageant of our Consciousness.Happiness cannot stay-
she has places to go and people to be with.Value her Presence when she comes-
whether as an Entrance to some deeper Significance,or just the sugar on your ice cream cone.
Happiness is no Don Quixote Quest-she already exists-just need to be recognized as she is..
And she is Everywhere ,in every Illumined Moment-gold glint among the dust of days
Do not ever even ask that she might stay.Happiness is different for every body.
For some,in work-for many others ,in play.Your happiness belongs to you-
It is unique.It always was that way.Happiness is here,now.
Value her before she flies away.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
