Twilight Ascends

Twilight ascends as dusk arrives,
          the moonlit stars gather and thrive-
Sweet day dreams have come to a close,
while midnight softness does expose-
    The constellations have survived.

From mother nature dark derives,
beautiful shadows come alive- 
Crepuscule dimness does repose…
                                -twilight ascends

The Lord above sure did contrive,
               a masterpiece, love does revive-
A mystery nobody knows,
eventide, tranquil as it glows-
       Morning sun starts to rise by five,
into daybreak it gently flows…
                                 -twilight ascends

Congrats on your first place placement in the contest! I have one nit though: stars are not "moonlit"; maybe "moonlit stars" ->"moon and stars"(?)
