  • Selected Poems by Tom Gee

    By Tom Gee，Translated by Nancy Lamb Fray

    羊 城 秋 思    一 九 八 五

         穆 穆 黄 花 墓，巍 巍 镇 海 楼。 云 涛 生 碧 树，船 舰 断 江 流。

         城 廓 变 今 古，人 民 有 乐 忧 ， 一 轮 珠 海 月，几 度 汉 时 秋。

    Thoughts of Guangzhou in Autumn 1985

    Yellow Flower Cemetery is so peaceful; Zhen Hai tower is so majestic.
    Emerald trees emerge through billowing clouds; numerous vessels float on the river, almost blocking the flowing water.
    The city has changed a lot throughout history; the people remain, some happy, some sad.
    A bright moon shines above Pearl River and the sea.
    I wonder how many autumn seasons have passed since the Han Dynasty.

It's also one of the holiest symbols in Buddhism. I took these pictures in a small pond north of Boston in July 2011. I used Canon 5D II and 70-200mm and 100mm macro lens for these shots.
