About This Book

The collection gathers short lyric poems that move between contemplative calm and turbulent passion, using concise, musical lines and recurring images of sea, wind, seasons, and evening light. Many pieces voice longing, solitude, and consolation, often addressing a beloved or a singing presence while alternating hope and resignation. Natural phenomena—waves, storms, dawn, and autumn decay—serve as metaphors for inner states. Occasional sonnets and mythic or spiritual invocations broaden the formal range. Overall the poems emphasize sensory detail and melodic rhythm to explore memory, desire, and the search for solace amid change.

VII.

Stil stiet de Dei en dreamt. Hjar ivich ljocht
Leit as in barnend klaed oer boarst en hânnen;
Yn dream wei sjucht hja leech de fiere strânnen
En wiid de sé, hwaens wyn hjar koelens brocht.

Den fiert in sêfte langst hjar mei; de brânnen
Fen fjûr en gloed dy’t hja it hearlikst tocht,
Hja lôgen mei to fûl, to flikkrjend ljocht:
Ho myld en koel dy djippe leeg’re lânnen!

Sa stiest ek dû yn Middei’s himel-steat:
Omlegen rûz’t myn sé hjar koele sangen
En glimket, nou’t dyn loaits hjar wiidte oerskeat—

Den lûkt it read stil oer dyn blanke wangen,
Den siichstû del—de weagen, griis en great,
Forrize yn sterktme fen hjar loks-forlangen.
