"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 Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth 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 with in 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? why not indeed!!"

EVEN KNOWING
that these seeds may not be flowering
we
still plant
( Johnny Appleseed Philosophy
seed
upon a stone-or in a pond
still
a seed/a hope expressed-a future flower
or
even as a seed intrinsic
Hope is like GM foods/Monsanto
No
hope of propagation-yet rapeseed crops
fly
over fences of litigation
to
see who owns/controls/possesses
Trust -a handshake/eye to eye
to
build upon a promise before you die
and
watch it build in others
Dreams come like guests
Depart
when they will.Afterwards,you ask-
Q:what
does that mean?
A:It
means you value the morning afterwards
as
much as the evening
Knowledge a thimble for oceans
to
drip through.Our filters so small
we
ask for more,please!
