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.

II.

Myn moarmren went’ riist dêr’t de séwyn sêft
In liet sjongt tsjin it dún, fen iivge wille,
En stiet, fen weagen skûmmich wiet omtrille,
Yn blanke rêst fen al to greatske trêft.

Sâlt waret dêr de rook fen ’t wiid; de krêft
Fen greate weagen ropt; hja rize en tille
De koppen heech en sinke; fier forsille
Rûz’t yet it wûnder fen hjar stjerliet sêft.

En fen myn toer sjuch ik de wûndre joun,
It heimich rizen fen de greate sinne
En ho’t de dei syn goud’ne krânsen woun;

Dêr sjongt de sé syn ivich liet; dêr rinne
De weagen rêd nei ’t fiere doel; dêr foun
Ik inkeld smerte en langstme.... ’k bin allinne.
