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.

XXXVII.

In iepen mêd mei stâllen brún en heech
Mei blomte, lyts fen blêd en giel fen herte,
Mei griene raeijen dy’t ta sie hjar sette,
Forjit-my-net yn fûrge en delwâl leech,

Mei lûde ljurke-sangen, nea forgetten,
Fen migge-gûd it bûnt en bliid forweech,
Mei ’t galmjend lûd út toerren, fier en dreech,
Fordrifkjend eltse tins fen ierdske smerte:

Net oars myn siel, dy’t simmersk-sintsjend leit
Wylst fen dyn ljeafde in goudne glâns s’oerstrielet,
En dimm’ne wyn dyn langstme lústrjend seit,

Dy’t yn hjar sêfte dreame-tsjoen yet prielet
As hiel dit laech yn ’t grêf forgetten leit,
Dy’t ivich stiet, fen Ljeafde aloan skewiele.
