Notes About The Poem

The Flåm Railway

- There's Always a Train Harry Horsman -

To honor Harry memory
    a much loved and respected poet
    He could cast a spell with his clear verse
    identifying himself with any sonnet
    with first class reviews
    No shortage of inspiration
    He put into words what most of us can only feel
    On the towpath ... between memories and the sea
    sand slips out between the fingers

    Harry kept his dream alive
    (watch, train journeys via You Tube)
    a desire to experience Norway by train
    pass vast agricultural landscapes
    through a rich selection of nature experiences
    Sparkling blue rivers and gushing waterfalls
    Winding mountain roads, fjords and valleys
    Churches from the 17th century
    Humble aging farms in places
    one would have thinking that no one could live

         _____ one day we'll drive this journey together
                                      ... you and me ... Harry
                                                   R.I.P.
