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.

XII.

As ’k dea bin, wier? den sjongst in kostlik liet:
Fen ho’t hy frjemd wier, faeks en njoer en kâld
En hjerst fen skyn, mar Maeije yn ’t hert—de wrâld
Forstie him net, sa sjongste frjeonlik-swiet;

Hy wier net earm, sa seist den, in geniet,
Myld, nuver, joech him ljocht; hy wier net âld,
Mar jong as froast’ge maitiidsmoarn; it wâld
Wier him ta frjeon, ta ljeafste it hymjend wiet.

Hy, hater, wier mei roazen bliid; it giel
Fen ’t weagjend nôt wier him, de donkre, djûr;
Net ien, mar Ik, mar Ik forstie syn siel’.

Nou bin ik ienlik, drôf; in hetsich sûr
Barnt my de tonge; in koarts fen longrjend fiel
Nei Him, nei Him bliuwt my nou inkeld oer.
