First Line: With eyes still wide from visions
Last Line: My eyes upon a star?
Subject(s): Relationships; Solitude; Loneliness
With eyes still wide from visions
I dared the soul's frontier
And stood upon a towering peak,
A lonely pioneer.
I want you here beside me
Undaunted by our climb
To fling the pearl eternity
Into the cup of time.
But you stay in the valley
Where our possessions are,
And I alone, how can I fix
My eyes upon a star?
