sout vir die seel - salt for the soul

by jeannine davidoff

die wind
straal
die angst
van my voorkop weg

die skerp sout lug
vul my met
die prag
wat voor my
verskyn

al die onsekerheid
verdwyn
soos sout wat
met water meng

the wind
caresses
my anxiety
away from my brow

the sharp salt air
fills me with
the beauty
that appears
before me

all the uncertainly
disappears
just like salt
that mixes with water
