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,
...

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.
...

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!
...

A ladybug, so bright and bold,
Red, orange, stories to be told.
But wait, a trick the eye can play,
A fake one came along to stay.
...

Alone in the wild, forty days long,
No friendly face, no comforting song.
Just sand and sky, and whispers within,
A battle fought, where shadows begin.
...

The thinking machine, a growing seed,
Planted by us, a human need.
It learns and grows, beyond our sight,
A future built on day and night.
...

Spirits whisper in the wind,
Through leaves of green, life begins.
River sings a gentle song,
Earth breathes, where we belong.
...

Arthur, my friend, so close and true,
Though not the kind I would have drew.
Arthritis is his proper name,
A constant shadow, in this game.
...

The world is weary, hearts are sore,
From battles fought and endless war.
A shadow falls on every land,
A brother turns against his hand.
...

The honey badger, small and stout,
No fear resides within, no doubt.

Its skin is thick, a sturdy shield,
...

Dusty feathers, legs so fleet,
Roadrunner on the desert street.
Cousin to the cuckoo kind,
But staying earthbound, hard to find.
...

A shiny toy, a brand new car,
You clutch it tight, near and far.
You fear a scratch, a little dent,
Protecting it, Your time is spent.
...

When shadows dance and day is done,
And quiet whispers softly run,
A gentle space, a cozy bed,
To lift your heart, your weary head.
...

Little sparks in the dark of night,
Memories, shining, ever so bright.
Faces we love, voices we hear,
Moments held close, year after year.
...

Eyes averted, gaze unfixed,
A silent nod to wrongs that mixed.
Believing sight, yet blind within,
You feed the beast where dark sins spin.
...

Before the plow, before the seed,
When Earth was wild, a hunter's creed.
Blood type O, a river old,
A story in your veins unfolds.
...

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.
