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.

VIII.

Mar ek: lûd droan’t it bûtsend wiet en ’t âll’t
Fen stoarm, opkrôljend yn de kopp’ge weagen,
En ’t grize brûs stout yn stoarm’ge reagen
Oer ’t grienjend wiet, det swolmich riist en falt;

Ien sé fen stoarmge dûnkrens ’t swirk—oer al ’t
Wiid loftrom grous’me wolkens, dy’t de fleagen
Dwylsinnich, wyld fen leed, toropje, as teagen
Dead’s feinten oer it djip, det kroan’t en gâll’t.

As wiid en loft bin wy by stoarm’gens ien
Sa goed as hwen oer d’ ierde Maitiid njuentet—
Skielk is de stoarm wer krêftleas lune en gien
En oer it wiet giet wer it liet, det ljuentet:

Wyls riist heech oan dyn loft in goud’ne gloed
Dy’t ljocht en laits myld oer myn weagen stjûrt.
