Classic and Contemporary Poetry


REPROACH by GRACE BROWN PUTNAM

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?
