Above and Beyond

I was provided with a lovely photograph of a sunset as a poetry prompt...

There’s a time in the afternoon
When day turns into the night
Dusk comes gradually when
The sky dims its golden light.
Yet somehow rays burst
Like a firework display cast
Nature heralding the sun
As it welcomes darkness.
There will be stars soon
Shimmering above like gems
And the cycle of hours
Will begin anew once again.
