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.

XXXIV.

Ik riisde, in blom yn skaed fen ivich wâld;
Swiersettich wier de stream en drôf it beamt,
By tiden kaem de wyn en rûze frjemd
En reage yn hjerst’ge tûken, skurf en âld.

Yn wiette en diiz’gens woechs ik op, myn wrâld
Forflokkend om syn twiivlichheit. Myn siel
Woe ljocht en longre nei ien inkle striel,
Mar ’t bleau mar skaed en ’k húvre en ’k waerd kâld.

Mar ear’t ik stoar krong op in lije dei
Ryk blinkend ljocht troch ’t weevljend leaf; de wyn
Wier soel en fierde in rook fen wûnders mei,

En ’t timpre ljocht foel ’t herte sêftkes yn,
Ien súvre pracht fen goud. En hiel dizz’ dei
Stean ’k blinkend yn myn ljochtens, blank en fyn.
