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?"

ETERNAL
ALWAYS HUNGRY,HOMELESS,HOPEFUL
That one pebble in a stream might ripple world-wide
That a meal shared,or cast-off clothes
might find new life on other skins.That every act
of kindness and goodwill might endure past need and pain.
That absence might be healed by active presence
That the mere feather of personal actions
might lift one broken winged gravity.Breath by breath,act by act
drama changes from tragedy to a Divine Comedy.Praise this!
Recognition of each other as mirror reflection
Hand reaching out to heal and not to harm
Steps taken together,not lost in anomie.
Webworks restored ,recycled,rebooted,reset
Each story adding to a brighter moment
This is life calling to life-this is your next breath.

...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.
