THOM THE WORLD POET: The Daily Poem

Rob Ayling 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 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!!"

TIME'S HURRYING ANGELS,RELEASED!

THEY LEAVE THEIR ONLY HOLY SKIN WITH DIZZYING RAPIDITY
They are shocked out by age and stress,despair,depression
Is there a space for comics' heaven?Subdivision,strata title
where relaxed lounge shows repeat the same old jokes-
pain,suffering,grief and loss/always to the same response.
It seems a faster Supermoon destiny /Perseid Meteor shower leaving
some individual engineered to group survival/some collective ascension pattern
There is such a heaven down here-the love expressed via Facebook
loss in blog and Web,grief in poem ,song and sketch
So many leaving us!Is there a Matinee session in Heaven?
Punctual to a point-do they know something we do not?
Is that the point of self-initiation?We leave when we learn



why we are here-or before?
