Every author wants to be creative and original. In my current chapter work in progress, there are five very young children, ages three to six.\u00a0 They are trying to be saved from a horrifying situation by the heroine of the story.\u00a0 The heroine uses the aid of a lullaby to calm their terrified state in a dark basement.<\/p>\n
Lullabies appear to me as a rarity in our modern age, but as a middle-aged man, I do recall their use in calming infants and toddlers to the uncertainties of the night.\u00a0 The youngest of the children in my narrative is three, and she is at the furthest location of the basement, and the most frightened.\u00a0 She is asked to sing a lullaby, so that a six year old boy nearest to her can find her, and be led to the spot where the heroine can huddle and protect them.<\/p>\n
Here is the first draft to this lullaby:<\/p>\n
\u201cLoni Lee, Loni Li,
\nIn my arms you\u2019ll never cry,
\nLoni Lee, Loni Li,
\nHush now baby, night shall fly
\nLoni Lee, Loni Li,
\nBy your side, you are in my eye,
\nLoni Lee, Loni Li,
\nForever more by your side,
\nLoni Lee, Loni Li
\nDawn is well-nigh,
\nLoni Lee, Loni Li
\nFrom darkness to blue sky.\u201d<\/p>\n
This lullaby is to be included in the fourth book of my nineteen story mythology.\u00a0 Books four through thirteen deal with the destruction of worlds and all their living beings.\u00a0 This lullaby is to be found in the first story in the rise of evil series, the Fall of Helloria.\u00a0 In my research for a lullaby I came across the story of Lilith. Lullabies were used to ward off the spirit of Lilith, the first wife of Adam, who became\u00a0 a demon and stole the souls of children during the night.\u00a0 If you are shaking your head, yes, I did state Lilith was the first wife of Adam according to a Jewish myth.<\/p>\n
In the case of my story, Gahar is the first living being to be corrupted. This first story revolves around his fall and his allegiance to evil, and his influence to the destruction of his own world, the world of Helloria.\u00a0 He will also be instrumental in the fall of eight more heavenly worlds.\u00a0 In one of those stories he will share power with a fallen queen, Maggith, whose name I created from a combination of Maggots and Lilith.<\/p>\n
If you are an author, have you ever used a lullaby in your story?\u00a0 If yes, in what manner did the lullaby serve your story?\u00a0 I look forward to the conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
