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.

XXXI.

In sâlte wyn waeit op tsjin ’t dún. De loft
Is bleek as pearel-glâns; troch lichte dize
Silvret it sinljocht del. En stil forgrize
Fordreamt de sé dit freedsum middei-skoft.

In knyntsje boartet bliid; yn stille nocht
Dounsje twa bûnte flinters, dream-bitize;
In rûp krûpt stadich fierder. Sêft forrize
De stille wizen fen it sé-geroft.

Is ’t net myn stim dy’t dy myn dreamen seit?
’t Lûd is myn siele hiem. En ’k wit, it wide
Draecht fen myn ljeafde in sêfte wytging oan—

Hwent beide ljeafde en sé is ivichheit:
O lústrje hjar den hwet ik dream, it blide,
En lústrje it yn myn egen tinzen-toan!
