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.

IV.

Yn Fryslân is de simmer-jountiid ljocht
Fen goud’ne glâns en lij fen dream en wille;
It beamte rûz’t, fen wiffe gloede oertrille,
Sêft eft in dreame-prins syn ljeafde oertocht.

Elts lûd giet hoar oer miede en wei, as brocht
Fen kleard’re wyn; it gea is frjemd forstille—
Den ’t jounlet út in fiere toer, forsille
Oer ’t iep’ne mêd, dêr ’t ljurkje rêst al socht.

Mem, ljeave, wêz’ Jins jountiid lyk by ’t simmer
Yn Fryslân ’t greate ljocht ta rêst him set,
Yn sêfte steat en preal en bliid geglimmer—

Wêz ien, dy’t ek yn joun de frede met,
Fyn yn sa’n rêst Jins treast en blidens jimmer—
Dêrta myn liet as silvrich jountiidslet.
