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.

OP MEMME JIERDEI.

21 Aug. ’17.

I.

Nou rêst hwet út; de sêfte stoel stiet ré,
En roazen rûke, as op dizz’ dei foreale;
Midsimmer wijt de keamer ta in seale
Sa ljocht en rom, as ’t glânzgjen oer de sé.

Foar ’t finster bloeit it blauwe blomte yn eale
Fornoeging om de blide dei. Bûnt fé
Giet weidzjend yn de greiden fier, en ’t swé
Fen ’t goud-hea rûkt as wijreek yn ús seale.

Sa is Jins dei, ljocht, krêftich as Jins wêzen;
Wynt silvren tried ek yn Jins hier, Jins moed
Wirdt yn de kjeltme fen de froast nea fêrzen.

In ljochter Geast hat oer ús wrâldwei noed;
Hwa’t lyk as Jy det tankjend wit, hat lêzen
It boek fen ’t wiere, en libbet bliid en froed.
