The Queen Who Wears the Night

Original Submission by Devananda V

She rises in the darkness, spreading lights,

a quiet queen of the sky

who needs no crown

to claim her throne.

Scars on her face build up her beauty

each mark a memory,

each shadow a story

she carries without shame.

Where others hide their fractures,

she turns hers into glow,

spilling silver over the earth

as if healing it with her presence.

Stars gather around her

like children listening to an ancient tale,

and the night softens,

resting in the comfort of her calm.

She does not shine to be admired

she shines because she has endured,

and the sky honors her

for surviving every darkness

and still choosing to be light.
