About Alexandra Heep:

Alexandra Heep is a longtime writer, chronic over-thinker, and recovering content mill survivor. Her work has appeared in literary journals, anthologies, and online platforms where words are still respected. She writes children’s books, health reflections, and the occasional blog post laced with humor and hard-won honesty. After years of illness, detours, and navigating the noise of modern wellness, she returned to writing with the firm belief that stories—like people—don’t have to be perfect to matter. She publishes under multiple pen names and drinks more goat milk than you’d expect.

NaPoWriMo 2025 Day 4 Stars and Their Light (Shakespearean Sonnet)

 


Stars and Their Light

When darkness drapes the world in quiet grace,
And silence hums where daytime used to burn,
The stars emerge—each in its ancient place—
With light too soft to sear, but strong to learn.

No blaze to blind, no fire that commands,
Just whispers from a thousand years away,
A balm that settles gently on your hands,
And tells your restless soul it’s safe to stay.

They do not ask for strength you do not hold,
Nor mourn the parts of you that came apart.
They shine through wounds the world has left you cold,
And map the path back inward, to your heart.

So starlight heals not loud, but long, and true—
By showing you the light still lives in you.
