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.

XXII.

’t Ljocht dounse foar ús fiet, dêr’t moss’ge groun
Us stille trêdden heinde. In moarntiids-sigen
Oerloek it grien; ’t leaf oan de ting’re twigen
Song rûzjende it bliidste boadskip roun.

Ien timpel wier it wâld. Ik seach de rigen
Fen ’t rûzich beamte as pylders stean, sterk, roun;
Dêrta it leaf ien libjend tek, oerwoun
Fen himel-gloede oer ’t wûndre boun fen twigen.

In blanke flinter flodd’re; in fûgel song.
Yn iep’ner delte laei in glânzich wetter:
Dêr ha wy stil yn rykste mymring stien.

En ’k wist, de moarn wier great, mar ús siel’ fong
Yet klearder glâns en koe de himel better,
En seach hwet heimnis bleau for eltsenien.
