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.

LIETEN FEN LIONEL.

I.

Ho leit it fjild sa stil... Biferzen mieden,
Wyt-glinsterjend fen silvren rym, en stiif,
Dy kreakje dêr’t ik gean. It winter-wiif
Hat, fier fen iiz’ge troane, wâld oer d’ ierde.

Ho falt it ljocht sa gril! De wolkens bliede
Mei streamen rea út hjar forstive liif:
In winter-dei stjert ier. As earm geriif
Barnt út in stâlle in ljocht, en klokken liede.

Hjir op dit ienlik mêd, yn jounske strielen,
Stean ik to dreamen by hwet blanke skiep,
Ien leit der nêst myn fiet, as koe it fiele
Myn kleare dream, en rêst yn fromme sliep.

Nou tinke om dy! De moanne riist allinken
En ’k sjuch de sinne oer ’t sniewyt doarpke sinken.
