Orion

Greetings, Orion, You mighty hunter, I see you’re adorning the sky Once again. The nights have grown frigid While the days have grown short, So out you come to chase The beasts through the starry air. How simple the hunt, So clean. One is stalked while the other Gives chase Each tosses in the strength of their Own to pit against their foe Till one calls the Victor. Oh, if only to join you in the velvet blackness. Too shine above the thermosphere And watch the world spin by. Tell me mighty hunter… Can I join you? We could float across the night, Leaving earthly woes behind. Get lost in the eternal vastness Of the cosmos. Then, sneak behind the moon To hide away from the sun Resting from our darkness play, only to rise and hunt again.
