Second Round Sunset

Giant jets monitor the sky  

Patiently waiting, for a screaming cry  

Flanked by backdrop painted blue  

Setting they flew  

Icey cool  

Seeking a gigantic, ocean pool  

An identified object, ready to emerge  

Piercing the atmosphere, experiencing its purge  

Returning from the unknown  

Coming home 

Completing a ten-day mission  

A spectacular vision  

Now job is done  

Success won  

Picture perfect descent  

Time well spent  

Parachutes ease the dive  

Ending the ride  

Landing turning into a float  

A galactical boat  

Precise pinpoint shot  

Transitioning astronaut heroes hot  

Welcoming the sunset hour  

Wanting celebration power  

Back east  

There is peace  

Going fore the green  

Sport jackets a dream  

Trophy fashionable in style  

Worth walking a few miles  

Throughout the Augusta open space  

Eagles earning a smiley face  

Due to accurate decisions  

Accomplishing a seventy-two-hole mission  

Where winning could come down  

To a perfectly presented round  

Filled with mathematical correctness  

Defeated consequences if there is a miss  

Resulting, come back next week with a little less hiss  

Since it takes three cornered Amens 

When  

Safely planted back on earth  

Defending humanity’s turf
