Tor Magnor Solvang Poems

The stars are scattered, dust of light,
Across a velvet, endless night.
A universe so vast and deep,
Where secrets sleep, and planets keep
...

Sixty-six stories, a river so wide,
One message whispers, deep inside.

From Eden's dawn to Heaven's bright door,
...

Alone I sit, the water falls,
A cool spray on my skin.
I try to hear some music there,
Where does the song begin?
...

Secrets hidden for so long,
Stories whispered, right or wrong.
Now a light begins to gleam,
Old ties kept, behind the scene.
...

A whispered word, on Patmos' shore,
John saw a King, forevermore.

Not just a past, a story told,
...

From cradle small to final rest,
A lesson learned, a constant quest.
Life's gentle school, where we all grow,
A winding path, both high and low.
...

In Boston town, where freedom grew,
A mighty bell, for all to view,
Will ring again, a joyful sound,
As SAIL250 sets the bound.
...

A truck driver named Larry, bold and bright,
Had a dream that took flight, a funny sight.
A lawn chair, balloons, forty and five,
He thought he'd gently rise, just to thrive.
...

If my dog could speak, you see,
This is what she'd say to me:

'Bowl is empty! Feed me now!
...

From the Arctic Circle, cold and white,
My little boat sails, towards the warm shiny light.
I don't know the reason, truth to be told,
But south I will go, to find sunshine and 'gold'.
...

The threads they pull, a piece at a time,
Leaving you bare, a different paradigm.
Your heart, your worth, misjudged and unseen,
A twisted picture, hurtful and mean.
...

The Comic Hat, a mighty name,
Across old Europe, spread his flame.
He marched and fought, a winning streak,
Until at Waterloo, so bleak.
...

If words, a gentle praise or sting,
Cause you to crumble, clip your wing,
The game of life will be a fight,
A lonely path, without much light.
...

The space they left, a hollow ache,
A silence that our hearts can break.
We see their ghost in sunlit rooms,
In half-filled cups, familiar tunes.
...

A bumpy friend, a toad I see,
In my yard, he comes to be.
He seeks the damp, the shady spot,
Where bugs and flies will soon be caught.
...

Salted fish, a tale so grand,
From Norway's shores to sunlit land.
Dried cod it was, sent south with care,
To Spanish sun, and warmer air.
...

March can be cool, we all know,
Sometimes with rain, or a bit of snow.
But today, a surprise so bright,
The sun shone down with golden light.
...

In Vik by Sognefjord so blue,
A wooden church, strong and true.
Nine hundred years it's stood so tall,
Since long ago, before the fall
...

A little house, I made with care,
For feathered friends to live in there.
High in the maple, strong and tall,
I nailed it fast, then left it all.
...

Family ties, a special thread,
Stronger than water, it's said.
Blood that binds, a loving art,
Closer to kin, within the heart.
...

Tor Magnor Solvang Biography

74 year old norwegian, married and lived in Minnesota since I met my lovely wife, Dawn, in 2011. I've been writing poems most of my life, but mostly for fun and as a hobby. I'm 'A Man Of Old Proverbs And Stormy Seas.'. A Norwegian soul with an American view. I am a Norwegian citizen currently living in the U.S. on a green card, navigating the space between the fjords of my home and the sun-shadowed secrets of Florida or all over the Planet. My poetry is born from the things that get 'stuck in my heart and mind'—those stubborn truths that refuse to be ignored. From the corridors of power in Palm Beach to the quiet reflections of retirement, I write to find the rhythm in the chaos. I value honest critique and the shared language of poets who aren't afraid to speak the truth. " I write what I see, and I see what others often try to hide.")

The Best Poem Of Tor Magnor Solvang

Alone In The Universe?

The stars are scattered, dust of light,
Across a velvet, endless night.
A universe so vast and deep,
Where secrets sleep, and planets keep
Their silent watch.

Life started early, here on Earth,
A tiny seed, a humble birth.
Almost four billion years have passed,
A story told, from first to last.
This makes us think, a hopeful plea,
That life's a common entity.

So many worlds, they spin and gleam,
Within the habitable dream.
Where water flows, a liquid grace,
A place to grow, in time and space.
'Earth 2.0, ' a whispered name,
Kepler's promise, fuels the flame.

Scientists believe, a hopeful band,
That life exists, across the land,
The cosmic land, so wide and far,
A distant twinkle, like a star.
Microbes maybe, simple form,
Surviving life, weathering the storm.

But silence hangs, a heavy shroud,
'The Great Silence, ' spoken aloud.
Where are the others? Where are they?
Why haven't signals lit the way?

Intelligence, a tricky thing,
Took ages here, to learn to sing.
From single cells, to thoughts so grand,
A slow ascent, across the land.
No guarantee, on other spheres,
Of creatures bright, dispelling fears.

The Drake Equation, tries to guess,
At chances high, of yes, or less.
But unknowns loom, like shadows deep,
Secrets the universe will keep.

Simple life, a likely chance,
A hopeful, captivating dance.
But wisdom's light, a rarer bloom,
Lost in the cosmic, silent room.
Yet still we search, with eager eyes,
For kindred souls, beneath the skies.

Though shadows linger, and doubts may rise,
The universe beckons, a sweet surprise.
And in the vastness, a chance remains,
For life's bright fire, in starry rains.
