twilights
Fading daylight periods
Twilights is the plural of twilight—the soft light after sunset or before sunrise when the sun is below the horizon but still illuminates the sky.
Figuratively, twilight marks a period of decline or fading: the twilight of his career, the twilight of the Roman Empire.
Multiple twilights might refer to repeated instances: I've watched countless twilights from this porch.
