Always

Chapter 2:Let The Dream Begin

Let the dream begin
Let your darker side give in
To the power of the music that I write
The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight
Help me make the music of the night...

"Well, you know it does work as a lullaby." I said proudly after singing my baby to sleep. Christine looked happy to but rolled her eyes at my remark. Not thinking it appropriate to sing my seduction song for her as a lullaby to our son but he seems fine with it. I pulled the covers over him so he would be warm enough. It was nearly winter and it was getting colder. I walked over to my wife who was trying to learn how to play the piano. So far she was going well with simple melodies that would keep Gustave asleep.

Sometimes I could not believe it myself. Every morning I was afraid to open my eyes and be alone. Back in my lair and having the newspaper and baker as my alarm clocks. I lived in a sewer system I could get rid of the smell but the echoes from inside or outside was impossible. But against all odds Christine would be sleeping next to me within reach. My son having everything he needs and fills me with a joy I never thought I could taste.

I've been afraid of everything my entire life. I have a porpoise to get out of bed in the morning a reason. In my experience even after you find one life can turn around and spit in your face. Failure was another. I know it's how we learn and eventually we don't get scared anymore. These were my valuable life lessons I would teach my son. If a person would say give up that dream or your dreams are to big. I say let the dream begin and do something about it.

"Erik are you alright?" Within an instant I was back into reality. "Yes darling I was just thinking about motivation." Christine looked at me somewhat surprised. "Really? That is a wonderful idea now my lesson is over and it is time for dinner." She got up and walked into our bedroom as Gustave was crying for her. I smiled to myself, despite the struggles this year had turned out to be mine. That night late into midnight I wrote my best song yet. Love Never Dies.
