THE NORWEGIAN GIRL

The Spinner’s spinnith 

Under the cold midnight sun

Hair of white and gold

WHAT MEMORIES DO THE RAINDROPS HAVE

370TH POEM PUBLISHED AUGUST  20, 2026

(This poem has been re-written August 21, 2026)

What memories do the raindrops have

Continually reborn and living forever

In the ancient cycle of water over the world

Above and below and flowing on earth

Seeing all things since time began

Never dying since their primordial birth

What memories do the sunbeams have

Travelling from the start of time

Watching the horizon as mighty galaxies rise

From the far reaches of the universe in primordial skies

Landing on earth granting nature “to be”

Lending warmth for life 

And light for eyes to see

What memories do the clouds have

Riding the winds never asking where they go

Rising and billowing seeing the vastness of earth

As sunbeams peak through watching life give birth

Angry or calm or majestic as they watch puny man 

Bow to their towering beauty

Or cower as lighting is hurled and the winds howl 

With nature’s sound as if doom roars and thunders and growls

What a wonder is the view made by nature 

For as many have said

It can’t be kept down

It’s defences heavy and though man fills it with dread 

It has always won since man first stood on ground

The eyes of nature have been always open, ready to astound

Living forever with a watchful intensity so profound

That man might not like, for he may be run aground 

(the stanza on water tries to represent the unending  rhydrologic cycle)
