A Beautiful Pool All Around... Poem by The Original Tom Maxwell

An old original home satellite dish,
Mounted flat on the ground,
Painted blue, add water,
A beautiful pool, all around.

In my landscape, the pond,
The moment, it shared with me,
Expanding my visions,
so much around, you must believe, to see.



A friend gave me the satellite dish in two pieces, I spent,
a lot of hours, sealing it together, painting... this is the first
picture I took on 7/20/ 2002.(Photo Below)
I never planned to write, no thought at all. in Aug of 2002,
A friend called crying, a friend of his, fell off,
a peak, at Garden of the Gods, southern Illinois,
Something told me to write a song/poem to make him feel better,
It seemed crazy to me, I did it was easy, people liked,
said keep writing, that was 18 years ago. After I had been,
writing about 15 years, I noticed, I took that picture, one month,
before, I started, was that a special message to me? ?
