Through the questioning of life and our existence here, through the dark loneliness of depression and contemplation of suicide, through love realized and actualized, and love lost, From Midnight till Dawn is the journey of one mans struggle through the dark, troubled times of this world until he enters into the kingdom of Gods eternal light. This collection is at times surreal, at other times sublimesometimes prophetic, but always with a realistic perspective that speaks to individual trials, political situations, and the conscious of humanity.
About the author
Tom Reed has been writing poetry over the span of four decades. Philosophical, political, poignant, or romantic, his poems run the gamut of life—whether about political history, like the “Dirge, ” with hidden innuendos about John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Richard Nixon, Mother Teresa, and Bosnia; or romantic poems like “Mortals Cry, ” or “The Last Poem.” Also found are prophetic nuggets like “Journey Within, ” “Obliteration, ” and “Jerusalem.”
His early struggle with suicidal thoughts can be seen in the poems “Trial, ” “Changes, ” and “Thoughts on the Night of 10-19-76.” But his triumph over the menacing darkness can be seen in “The Answer.”
His broad range of thirty-three different vocations—including host of a Miami Beach restaurant, sound man and roadie, construction laborer, youth pastor, tree trimmer in New Orleans, and a variety of others—has helped to collectively paint this collage of life experiences called From Midnight till Dawn.
