I love to write poetry and recently I've also developed a love for photography. In this submission I'm sending you, I've put the two together. I took the photo here in China on a recent hike along the Yangzte River.

When I first saw this old man, I had a flood of thoughts but mostly I wondered about all the life that he has seen. He would have experienced so much history, and modern history in China has seen so much! Then I wondered at what he was thinking sitting there quietly watching the river. I guess that many of his thoughts were of the past and his life that had gone before.
