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?"
WE ARE ALL IN RELATIONSHIP
AS MUCH AS LOVE LIKES SILENCE
Gold is often exchanged for silver
Rivers are dammed and bottled in plastic
Hearts break rather than bend
Failure defines our success.We exist
within and despite this.We persist
Levels of understanding underpin our relationships-
Everyone we meet-a teacher/learner/student/parable
Do i need to spell this out?WE are what we most need
The lack of response is also silence-a staleness of cliches
Hallmark Greeting Cards.Sad birthdays.Predictability
SURPRISE ME!Be Delightful,generous,gregarious..
Spin stories like Sufi chants.Laugh for a real reason.
Eschew dullness.Be that bright Light that Illumines..
Or sleep through this-wake when ye will.Hibernation Nation.
ONLY CONNECT!(F.R.Leavis)...DREAM DEEPER!(Thom)
When you return to this Golden Moment,silver smiles await
Valuable as teardrops,dewdrops,Tagore firefly moments.
AWAKEN!
