sky hunter steadies his firm grip
as the great golden orb of day
returns weary from his trip
beautiful quicksilver moon
readies for her night’s course
sky hunter fixes sharpened eyes
his grand duty to enforce
as starmaster reaches gently
into the vastness of quiet space
with handfulls of night diamonds
prepared to sparkle into place
then sky hunter locks the horizon
in his sunset gun’s true sight
and blasts his fiery colors
to welcome the coming night

Beautifully descriptive phrases bring the skyhunter alive, Rob. Good write!
Thank you Bev! 🙂 This piece was inspired by the song I posted with it.
So glad I returned for one last look-see! Well worth it, Rob.
Thank you Helen!
