Sweet Truth
by Virginia Benvenuto
When you make the same mistake twice and it's the same thing all over again but it shows up wearing a different face, a different name... it makes you wonder why you repeat the same mistake all over again… maybe you didn't learn the lesson the first time… so now you're reliving it again… only to eventually suffer the same consequences as before and hopefully learn the same lesson the second time around as you read the same writing on the wall… all over again.
Sweet subconscious… never fails when deep down you know the real answer… and you fight it and deny it… it will follow you no matter what… Ahh!!… sweet truth… never fails, abounding truth… you can turn it inside out… try to escape from it… but no matter how much you try… you cannot escape from your own demons… they'll follow you till the end of time…until you face the real you, your real destiny.

Rearranging Truths
by Virginia Benvenuto
When you rearrange your life for the sake of those closest to you --the most vulnerable-- and you convince yourself that this is the best for them and everyone else around you and you forgive, but maybe deep down you have that nagging feeling that you cannot forget, and the real truth haunts you as you make peace with those closest to you, but yet you don't' because you don't share the real truth of who you really are and what you have done, then you continue living the same lie as before, except now you're trapped into another even bigger lie than before because you're afraid to tell those closest to you, how you really feel, who you really are and what you've really done.
The fear of facing your own self and not admitting your own mistakes, the fear of being judged and rejected, the fear that no one will understand your life cravings, the fear that if you tell the truth you'll be exiled. In the end, you're exiling yourself within yourself and still living a lie as a dark cloud of fear follows you everywhere you go until you face yourself and speak the truth.
Until then, you're still trapped and living two truths,the real truth and the rearranged truth… your self-created lie, a life lie to keep yourself happy but deep down you're not because you have a conscious that is impregnated with lies and imprisoned within you that will not disappear and will not allow you to be happy until you release it because "it" and only "it" knows the real truth. Then and only then will you meet true happiness as you once knew it.

In and Out of Time
by Maya Angelou
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance...
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.
You freed your braids...
gave your hair to the breeze.
It hummed like a hive of honey bees.
I reached in the mass for the sweet honey comb there....
Mmmm...God how I love your hair.
You saw me bludgeoned by circumstance.
Lost, injured, hurt by chance.
I screamed to the heavens....loudly screamed....
Trying to change our nightmares into dreams...
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out
in and out
in and out
of time.
The sun has come.
The mist has gone.
We see in the distance...
our long way home.
I was always yours to have.
You were always mine.
We have loved each other in and out of time.
When the first stone looked up at the blazing sun
and the first tree struggled up from the forest floor
I had always loved you more.

BABYLON
Songwriters: RYAN THOMAS / MELVILLE O'CONNOR
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
Show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining, Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
Show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining, Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Part 4: A Conversation With An Angel
A Visit Into
Another Dimension
by Virginia Earl
And so the next night, Angel reappeared
sooner than ever before. The moon was full and as bright as it had ever been. This time… Angel wasn’t alone, she flew into Little Girl’s house accompanied by fairies.
When they flew
into Little Girl’s room, Angel and all the fairies gathered around her and woke
her up.
Angel: Wake up
Little Girl. We are taking you to a very
special place. We don’t have much time.
Little Girl: Who
is it? I am still sleeping.
A: It’s me... Angel. You’re just a bit sleepy still. We want to take you to a secret place.
LG: And who are
they?
A: They’re my
helpers. They are here to help me take you to a very special, secret place. Just
say hello to everybody and you may bring one of your favorite stuffed animals
with you.
LG: OK. I will
bring Abbey. She is soft and big. She will protect me. Where are we going?
A: Just close
your eyes and you will soon see. Once we are flying you can open your eyes but
not yet. Are your eyes closed?
LG: Yes, they
are. I am ready now.
A: Here we go.
Don’t open them until I tell you.
We’re flying up
and away into the universe and crossing the invisible time barrier. You can open your eyes now. We’re in another
dimension.
LG: Wow! This is
beautiful. The colors are amazing and
everyone looks different. And look over there! Fairies! Look at all the pretty
flowers and I like the cottages. Everything and everyone looks very happy. Where
are we Angel?
A: We went back
in time my love. I want to show you something but you mustn’t ever tell anyone
we came here. See this door?
LG: Yes.
A: It’s a thick wooden
door and normally it isn’t locked but it is because the key is lost. There’s no
way in and no way out and the only way to see what’s going on behind the door is
through the keyhole. Tell me what do you
see?
LG: Is that who
I think it is?
A: Who do you
think it is?
LG: It's..... and it's all about...
And this is the last Part of all the Parts in this series until further notice.

Part 3: A Conversation With An Angel
A Wish Floats Away Into The Universe
by Virginia Earl
In the still of the night
As clouds sneak by gently kissing the moon
She waits patiently for a sign...
And as a breeze gently kisses her face
She hears white whispers…
Little Girl: Is it time now?
Angel: Yes, you may open your eyes now my dear.
LG: I’ve missed you.
A: I’ve missed you too. Would you like a hug?
LG: Yes, I would love one.
A: Ahh, we love you and are around you every day.
LG: I know. I feel it. I like that. It makes me feel better to know you’re with me.
What is the message this time?
A: She’s very, very sad right now.
LG: Why?
A: Because she’s never felt this way before. Something is missing and she’s not sure why it’s happening now …
LG: What is missing Angel?
A: I think she knows what it is but she really needs to find the answers on her own love. We cannot do it for her. I know what the answer is but I cannot tell you nor tell her. We will guide her. That is all we can do.
LG: Can I help?
A: Just be with her and give her all your love.
LG: I always do. I love her very, very much.
A: Now my love. Don’t cry. She loves you very, very much.
She has been holding something inside for many, many years and although she is sad, it is good that she is realizing what’s missing a little bit at a time.
LG: Why will she not tell me what it is?
A: Because she loves you and doesn’t want to hurt you or anyone else but at some point it will all be better and she will rise above it all and all her wishes will become true. God is by her side. He also watches over her and helps her too. Did you know that?
LG: Yes. I know. Angel, do you know what her wishes are?
A: Yes we all do and there are several of us helping her get to where she needs to be and to where she belongs.
LG: Thank you. You don’t have to tell me more. My mommy always says that wishes are sacred. You keep them to yourself. You sit under the stars and close your eyes, you put your hands together to make the shape of a heart, then you place your wish inside a pink bubble, hold it close to your heart, say a prayer, kiss it, blow it and imagine it floating away into the universe…
A: That’s very true. That’s how you do it. Now, can we try it together? You put your wish inside your pink bubble and I will do the same.
LG: This is fun. Just remember… don’t tell me what it is.
A: I shan’t.
LG: Let’s blow it away at the same time. Ready?
A: 1, 2, 3 … Blow it away…
LG: All done. Will this help mommy?
A: Yes, it will my love. Now, it’s time for me to go back. Would you like me to tuck you in tonight?
LG: Yes Angel. That’s my favorite. I don’t see you very often.
A: Very well then. Close your eyes and I will carry you into your room. Watch out for my wings love.
LG: I will. Will you cover me with them before you leave and say a prayer with me?
A: Yes, and we can make another wish in prayer together.
LG: Thank you.
A: Just don’t tell me what it is…
LG: I know.
A: It’s time for me to go now. Oh, and one more thing… Tell your mommy, her mommy and daddy are watching over her too. They’re by her side every day.
LG: They are?
A: Yes they are.
LG: How long does it take for wishes to become true?
A: You’re a very smart girl. Sometimes it doesn’t take very long, maybe days, or weeks and other times months, years. It depends what you wish for. Your mommy’s wish will take a while.
LG: That makes me sad because I don’t want her to be sad.
A: Well, try not to be because in the end her wish will become true. Now, my love close your eyes and go to sleep. It’s time for me to go now. They’re waiting for me… I love you.
LG: But….
A: No buts…. Now, now. Close your beautiful blue eyes and go to sleep. I will hug you once more. Good-night love. And when you need me, you know I will come back always.
LG: I know. I love you so much.
A: I love you too my love. Night, night. Blowing kisses now from above. Catch them.
LG: I did. Good-night.
A: Good-night.

Under The Rain
by Virginia Earl
by Virginia Earl
She sat
under the rain
Curled up
as each drop
Washed away
painful tears
But held
onto tear drops of hope…
...Of the love
she once knew
She never
looked up once
---
She sat
under the rain
Curled up
as if each drop
Protected
her from the pain
As it
washed it all away
Until several
hands reached
Through the curtain
of rain
As if wanting to
rescue her
---
But she sat
still and waited
And as the
water rose
She waited
and waited…
For the
right hand to pull her away
While the rain washed it all away
She waited and waited...
For the hand of the soul she once knew
While the rain washed it all away
She waited and waited...
For the hand of the soul she once knew

Il Volo, Zucchero (Live in Italy)
Il Volo
Ho camminato per le strade
col sole dei tuoi occhi
ci vuole un attimo per dirsi addio...spara
Che bella quiete sulle cime
mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
ci vuole un attimo x dirsi addio...
X questo troppo amore, per noi
e questo bel dolore
Ti prego no, ti prego lo sai!
Sogno, qualcosa di buono
che mi illumini il mondo
buono come te...
Che ho bisogno, di qualcosa di vero
che illumini il cielo
proprio come te!!!
Ho visto il sole nei tuoi occhi
calare nella sera
ci vuole un attimo x dirsi addio...spara
Che bella quiete sulle rive
mi freddi il cuore e l'anima
ci vuole un attimo x dirsi...addio!
Ma dove andranno i giorni e noi
le fughe e poi i ritorni
ti prego no, ti prego lo sai!
Sogno, qualcosa di buono...
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio sole
siamo caduti in volo!
Siamo caduti in volo
Mio cielo
siamo caduti in volo!
Baby don't cry, baby don't cry
Baby don't cry, baby don't cry, baby don't cry
X questo amore immenso, x noi
e il gran dolore che sento
ti prego no, ti prego lo sai!
Sogno, qualcosa di buono...
