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.

XXIX.

In silvren boat det oer de weagen driuwt
Nei hwer’t it himel-ljocht fen goud’ne sinne
It wiid birint—de wyn fen goad’ne minne
Dy bliest it foart, wylst goad’ne laits ’t oerwiuwt—

Sa driuwklet ek myn sang fen my fendinne
Op tiid’ne en romte’ sé dy’t sinkt en kliuwt,
Mar ivich scil hja siikje it ljocht det bliuwt,
Al scoe net ien syn gloed mear skôgje kinne.

In boat, det stjerliken mei menn’ge skat
Utristen for in hill’ge skut-goadinne
Dy’t oer de weagen stjûrt hjar deistich lot,

Net oars myn liet, det ’k soarchsum en allinne
Mei grien en roazen útrist haw en det
Ik driuwklje lit nei dyn trochlofte sinne.
