Tom Squires Poems

There is a road not covered here
That lays upon the shadow land
Continues for a thousand years
Prepared before the breaking dawn
...

Long shadows
Upon the road
Falling gestures
Brought forth
...

The sun shines down
The breezes warm
The forest nearly
Shuttered green
...

Chocolate brown buildings
Cast out shadows
On the bright day
The landscape of our healing
...

In the cool green morning
They awake the people
Of the distant plains
Speaking the names
...

As we ride beside this ocean
Sing to stars up in the sky
Leave behind all the commotion
Breathe to life these dreams tonight
...

You were a dream
In the waking world
A postcard from the other side
A flourish in the summer rain
...

Jets overhead
Like bright chariots
Thunder in the distance
...

Across the skyline
Buildings reach
Like great square teeth
For the grey
...

The wind blows
The swamp willows
Like stalk brushes
That paint the midnight sky
...
