Summary
LOVE IN THE WAGONS, WAGONS IN THE RAILWAYS
LULLABY FOR RAFAEL ZAHAV - FINAL
THE CARMINE OF YOUR LIPS - FINAL
This tale is a dream that came true, a challenge that kicked my ass moving me out of my literary comfort zone. Each written line was a sweet discovery in which I could test my limits and go beyond, so that, I am thankful to God and to my “gladness hunter” that allowed me to write and to have the pleasure of my history has been reading for each of you.
To my children, thank you for loving me even in my loneliness moments and for the comprehension that books are part of me and to live incomplete would be, at least,frustrating.
To my sister, Elize Souza, I have no words to thank her support and daily encouragement, besides her generosity letting me write the tale: “In a Dancing Casino”, inspired in our parents’ love story.
To my reader-friends from Wattpad, Amazon and my WhatsApp group “Misha Anderson Romances”. Without this flow of love around me, nothing would be possible, it moves me to always do more and better, I keep reaffirming that I couldn’t have in this life more wonderful readersin this life.
To my dear dad and friend, Orlando Quitete, my gratitude for the kind way that he cheers me with his wisdom and his shoulder in the difficult moments.
To my friend, and writer, Samuel Nogueira that presented me with this delicate and special prologue as his heart is, and for Rafael Zahav that allowed me to create the tail: “Lullaby for Rafael Zahav”, freely inspired in the story of his life, thank you so much for the honor to divide a little about your sweet soulwith the readers.
To the person who makes my heart beat faster, yes, it is you, did you think I was forgetting you? My love, thank you for your support, especially when the computer broke down in the worst moment possible. Fell kissed...
And finally, I dedicate this book, by my heart, to the most sublime felling that a human can have: Love.
Each writer has a way to create a synchrony with their stories, each one has a kind of ritual to write a piece, some of them only write in the same place, others like to work in the silent of an early hour.
However, I consider myself to be a storyteller more than another thing. It is the most direct way, the most well-done arrow that the storyline and the characters reach me and get inside my soul is through the music.
For me some musicis like direct messages from the characters, as if they get undressed through the rhymes and chords, showing a little more about their secrets on each line.

You
Got on the train
And I was at the station
Looking the skyrun away
––––––––
And it was late
To try
To convince you
To stay...
“...It’s not about having
All of the people in the world for you
It’s about knowing that somewhere
Someone is looking after you
It’s about singing and being able to hear
More than your own voice
It’s about dancing in the rain of life
That’s falling on us.
It is knowing to feel the infinity
In a universe so big and so beautiful
It is knowing to dream
And so make it worth every verse
Of that beautiful poem about believing.
It’s not about getting on top of the world
Knowing that you won
It’s about the climb and feeling
That the way just made you strong
It’s being shelter
And also home for other hearts
And this way have friends with you
In all of the situations
We can´t have everything
What would be the fun in this world if it was like that
That’s why I rather have the smiles
And the gifts that life brought
Closer to me.
It’s not about everything that your money
Is able to buy
But all of the moments and smile that
We get to share all around.
Not about running
Against the time to always have more
Because when you least expect
Your life ran out of time
Just hold your son in your arms
Smile and hold tight your parents
While they are here
Cause life is a Bullet train
And we are only passengers waiting to leave...”
(Bullet train – Ana Vilela)
