Lullaby

By Sonam Kaloti, Arts Editor

the beauty of the world cannot compare
to the streaks of sunlight in your hair
if plums and sugar can be compared to honey
then to the sun, darling, you’re twice as sunny

sunset cherry lilac sky
twirling by the ocean. do you know why
I won’t name the undercurrents that remind me of you

sleep now! you’re going to get there soon
sleep now, singing with the moon

you can dance and play for the entire day
it might be hard, but you’ll be okay
the stars and streetlights know your plight
waking up to the sun. you’ll be alright

sleep now! you’re going to get there soon
sleep now, singing with the moon

sleep now! you’re going to get there soon
sleep now, singing with the moon

the beauty of the world cannot compare
to the streaks of sunlight in your hair
if plums and sugar can be compared to honey
then to the sun, darling, you’re twice as sunny
