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,
...
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.
...
A whispered word, on Patmos' shore,
John saw a King, forevermore.
Not just a past, a story told,
...
Secrets hidden for so long,
Stories whispered, right or wrong.
Now a light begins to gleam,
Old ties kept, behind the scene.
...
The sun, a heart, in skies so wide,
Reflects my joy, my hidden pride.
The wind, a breath, a whispered plea,
Of change and loss, for you and me.
...
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.
...
The sun shines down, on rich and poor,
A beggar's hand, a palace door.
The wind it blows, on queen and clown,
Some wear a smile, some wear a frown.
...
The sun goes down, so soft and low,
Fire's glow starts to show.
Warm night air, a gentle breeze,
Rustling leaves up in the trees.
...
The ship is steady, for years I've steered,
Know every current, calm and feared.
My patterns woven, strong and deep,
A life I built, the secrets keep.
...
The quiet house, a gentle space,
Just me and time, at my own pace.
No voices raised, no need to plead,
To plant a thought, or sow a seed.
...
Words like honey, sweet and bright,
They say them softly, day and night.
But in their eyes, a distant gleam,
A hollow echo, like a dream.
...
I like the sun, but choose my shade,
A gentle friend, not one to invade.
I'm not a hermit, locked away,
...
The mountains rise in Peru so high,
More than just rocks against the sky.
They're Apus, spirits, old and deep,
Guardians watching, while we sleep.
...
By my fjord's green edge, a rock is my seat,
Norway's beauty, so bittersweet.
Midnight sun, a gentle hand,
Touching horizon, sea, and land.
...
The sun peeks through the clouds so gray,
A little light to start the day.
Don't look at puddles on the floor,
Look at the sunshine by the door.
...
In forests deep, where shadows play,
A maiden walks, come what may.
The Huldra fair, with golden hair,
A beauty bright, beyond compare.
...
Life's a road, so long and wide,
With twists and turns on every side.
Some days the sun shines, bright and bold,
Some days the story's less like gold.
...
Life's a shift, so some folks claim,
From where to where, a guessing game.
We're made like Him, so stories say,
...
Long ago, with mighty sound,
Earth's giants crashed all around.
Plates pushed hard, a mountain grew,
Norway's spine, strong and new.
...
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.
