“A storm is coming” they said
Yet I hear no thunder
Overhead.
I wonder
Why this dread
Of the mighty Thor?
We close window and door
And watch the lightning’s flame
Put our civilisation to shame.
Thor he came
Long before
I was a twinkle in my parents eye
And the gods will remain
(but not so you and I).

Kinda makes you feel insignificant; vast seas, big deserts, raging storms, don’t they?
It certainly does make you feel insignificant which is nnot a bad thing as we humans have a tendency to be rather arrogant at times. Thanks for your comment. All the best,Kevin
Thor certainly is powerful! All Nordic gods are😊
As a child I owned an abridged cassette version of “Tales from Viking Times”, by Magnus Magnusson on cassette tape (https://www.amazon.com/Tales-Viking-Times-Magnus-Magnusson/dp/0886460654). I remember listening with fascination to stories of heroism by the Vikings and their gods so, yes I agree with you …! All the best, Kevin
