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.

XXIV.

Mids minsken giet in glâns fen foarstlikheit
Us blinkende eagen oer. Hwent kenings-eare
Waerd ús biskern: nin ien scil ús ûntkeare
Hwet yn syn siele oan skat forhoalen leit.

Us ljochtsjend antlit scil gjin skaed forneare,
Gjin leed scil mear bistean, as ús stim seit
It blide wird fen hope en hearlikheit—
Faek scil ien, as nei ’t ljocht, nei ús him keare:

Sa jaen wy troanjend goede ginst en seine
En ’t ljocht scil om ús seale yn streamen gean,
En blomkje scil ’t dêr’t wyldernissen leine—

Wy hawwe God ús libben’s ynlikst bean,
En Hy joech Ljeafde yn ivichheit, nea eine,
Hwaens stille geasten glimkjend oer ús stean.
