When the sun rises by Rebecca Scarf (29th July 2011)

When the sun rises and I have gone away,
please forgive me, I was unable to stay.
I tried to remain and love you more,
but I had to go through another door.
I was called away to a brand new place,
that surrounds me with love and makes me feel safe.
Everyone we have lost has held me in their arms,
so do not be afraid, do not be alarmed,
there is another world out there,
a place that we can some day share.
Just for now, I've gone on ahead,
so I cannot wipe those tears you've shed,
but I am here to help you stand strong,
for I am now where I truly belong.
Your physical life must carry on without me,
while in my spiritual one I will be here, you'll see.
For love is eternal and I learnt that here,
it's opened me up to see so very clear.
I am your love and soulmate forever,
in each life we intertwine together.
So tomorrow, when the sun rises again,
let the spark of a smile become a flame,
think of me flying high up in the sky
and let your troubles pass you by.

Thankful by Rebecca Scarf (29th July 2011)

I stare at you and wonder why
when you stare back you start to cry,
then I remember who I am,
that I will never be able to stand
on my own two feet and walk to you,
or do any of the things that you do.
I will never be able to move my body,
but I try so hard to be all i can be.
Nor can I talk and ask about your day,
or reply to the things that you say.
I try to answer you in what ways I can
and I so wish that you could understand,
but I know it's hard and difficult sometimes,
to follow my irratic little signs.
Life is a gift no matter what form,
even when life wanders away from the norm,
You helped me make it and survive,
I'm so thankful to you that i'm alive.

Deep by Rebecca Scarf (29th July 2011)

Deep down in the sea, the water is still,
calm as the blood that flows through my veins.
While on the surface it swirls and churns,
with new emotions and feelings.
As the clouds begin to part, so high up in the sky,
anyone can see the sunrise on the horizen,
rippling on my water for the first time.
Bringing such warmth to my tired old sea,
everyone can see how alive I have become
and out on the sand it waits for my touch,
as my waves move back and forth,
bridging the gap between them and us.
The old washed away on the outgoing tide,
while the new comes in waves, again and again,
bringing in new vigor to old forgotten feelings.
The new moon begins to rise again,
to shine fresh rays on my halcyon sea.

Grandad by Rebecca Scarf (done on platform 27/7/11)

This man is here to guide your way,
even though you think he's gone away,
he held you tight when you were young,
sat and listened to the songs you sung,
he wiped away the tears from your eyes
and showed you the stars up in the sky.
That is where he is now, looking down on you
still interested in all that you do,
so feel him around you when you are sad,
or when someone else makes you feel bad.
So when you begin to sigh
grandad will be there to lift you up high.
He is all knowing and all seeing
to remind you that you are a wonderful human being.

Angel on your shoulder by Rebecca Scarf (done on platform 27/7/11)

An angel is sitting perched on your shoulder,
to push you along and make you bolder.
He brings to you a special gift,
to help you along and give you a lift.
He brings you peace, like a white white dove.
he gives to you undiluted love.
He brings you stength to make you stand strong,
to guide you and help you to carry on.
he wants to put music back into your heart,
to give you a boost and a brand new start.
So don't feel alone, he is always there,
giving you love, comfort and care.

Do not cry by Rebecca Scarf (done on platform 27/7/11)

Do not cry those wasteful tears,
they have done you no service over the years.
Again they come and again they go,
but you hide them away, never have them on show.
Share your troubles with those you love,
or even share them with us above.
You are loved by those who matter,
so ignore all that idle chatter,
there is a love that knows no bounds,
that you cannot see, that makes no sound.
Just open your arms up good and wide,
for we are always by your side.
Make a wish and look up to the stars
and we will make sure that you go far.
You can lean on us, you can be sure
so dry those tears and smile once more.

Inside by Rebecca Scarf. 24th July 2011

Why can't I make you see
that under my skin and inside my chest
my heart beats the same as yours.
It beats with emotion that you would ridicule,
it beats with fear that you would use.
Why can't I make you see
that inside my chest and under my skin
my heart has a strength, more than you.
A lion would cower at what I can do,
but not you, not yet, not now.
I ache to break out and grab your attention,
to shake you and roar at you and claw at your chest,
so I can see all you hide, just like me.
One day I could, one day I might,
to win this war I wage in my head.
I wish I could make you see
that under my skin and inside my chest,
I am nothing like you.

Careful by Rebecca Scarf. 23rd July 2011

What you sow, so shall you reap,
send out bad thoughts and you will weep.
Remember whatever you put out,
you will get back, without a doubt.
If you always try your best to be kind,
love will be returned and you will find;
your life will improve with good things coming your way.
So remember to watch the things that you say,
for ears are always behind the wall,
listening and waiting for you to fall,
they have not yet reached their spiritual awakening,
never giving and only taking,
they have their own lessons to learn,
they are walking this life and taking their turn.
So being kind is always the key,
what you give out comes back, times three.

Meditation for Janet by Rebecca Scarf. 22nd July 2011

Imagine you are on a beach,
lying down on warm sand,
the sand runs through your fingers,
while the sun shines down brightly above,
you can feel the warmth of the sun on your body.
The seagulls fly over head,
crying out as they pass over you,
while the sea laps against the sand.
The noise of the waves calm your soul
while the water gently rolls against your feet,
let the worries of the day be taken away with the tide,
while only relaxation is brought in with the waves that touch your feet,
slowly it carries on up through your body,
allowing you to forget your problems and gently let go.
Stay on the beach and drift away...

Enso by Rebecca Scarf. July 22nd 2011

Like a circle, we go round and round,
death is a birth and birth is a death,
there are always tears of happiness,
there are always tears of sadness,
round we go inside the circle of love.
We say goodbye to someone,
as we say hello to another,
as some arms close, more will open.
Earthly  life is a never-ending cycle,
that begins and returns to the great circle,
a cog within a cog of eternal energy,
we can feel love no matter which side
as around the circle we constantly travel.
It allows us to feel together;
allows us all to love ourselves and each other
that little bit more than we ever did before.
The circle links us forever and ever.

( Ensō  is a Japanese word meaning "circle" and a concept strongly associated with Zen. Ensō is one of the most common subjects of Japanese calligraphy even though it is a symbol and not a character. It symbolizes the Absolute enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void)

Right here by Rebecca Scarf. June '11 (for pam)

I'm holding your hand,
but you don't see i'm there,
right next to you I stand,
with perfect love to share.

Please open your heart,
and to me, speak you mind,
make a brand new start,
and remember me from time to time.

I know you think i've gone away,
but i'm right here, look! I am.
Here i'll be, here i'll stay,
I love you forever, my little lamb.

Time to grow, o little one, time to see.

Angels by Rebecca Scarf. June '11

A single feeling begins to grow,
like a flower it unfolds into the light,
it reaches upwards, spreads and climbs,
until two worlds spark together as one.
We fly together on a journey of love,
where you are always safe,
where angels will surround you,
their wings will envelope you;
and their power builds you up,
and leaves you with the strength
that you never realised you had.
They take away those tired old bonds,
old ties from before that hold you back,
accept this loving thing they do,
thank this action for now you are free
to unfold into the sun and grow,
like the flower  you knew you could be;
shine, shine, shine in their love and protection.

Do not cry by Rebecca Scarf. June '11

Do not cry love, do not shed more tears,
I am not far, I am around and everywhere,
speak out to me, my ears are open,
come to me in love, I come to you the same,
wrap my arms around you, like I always did.

Sing by Rebecca Scarf. June '11

Sing to us a song of love,
sing for all of us up above.
Listen for a happy melody,
sing out loud and sing in key!
Sing songs to lift all your hearts,
to bring us closer while we're apart.
The joy in your voice will raise the gloom,
and bring happiness to all in the room,
and do not forget we like the laughter,
in the physical life and the spirit one after.

When we were young by Rebecca Scarf.

Back when we were young, we held the world in our hands,
the tides of time flowing through our fingers.
We had every tree in our grasp, every leaf fresh like spring.
In those summer days we laughed for the first time, in those summer days, we explored life.
The world has turned many times since and spun us around back to back,
and we walked, we ran, we travelled into the now,
across a desert of thirst with no return,
friendship that was then, now just a memory,
that ripples in the sea of time, like an endless whirlpool of mirrors.
The strongest ties become wisps of spider webs,
held in a cold barren room, with spiders long gone.
but back when we were young, we stood still and strong,
we stood together, hand in hand.
back, far back, when we were young.

We are here by Rebecca Scarf.

Spirits come, we are here.

let us help you, try to believe.

we love you, we love you all,

you can feel us if you just open your heart,

you can hear us if you just open your ears,

you can see us if you just open your eyes,

we are here, we are love.

That sound, that you can't explain,

that is us, we are here,

your hair moving on your head,

that is us, we are here,

we are around you always, we are love.

Take the step, trust our love,

take the step to us,

we are here, we will wait.

we are love.

I'll wait by Rebecca Scarf.

I dreamt of you so long ago, so far away

from now to then.

In that life we were one, so complete

and joined in love.

I lived for you and you for me, twirling together

into the night.

You went away for a little time, to

learn some things all by yourself.

My love for you is eternal, i'm your

friend and true love.

I wait for you now, I'll wait forever,

until your sun goes down again.

Don't drown by Rebecca Scarf.

Staring into the void, one thing rings true inside

it's never going to go that way,

nothing is ever going to be easy,

no one is ever going to love you like you want them too,

nothing is ever going to be enough.

Your life is a lesson,

you must learn this to learn the real.

You have love, you have it

you have everything you want

you hold it in your finger tips,

a delicate balance of trust and care,

Don't drown, don't drown down there

keep afloat.

My all by Rebecca Scarf.

Sleep in dreams and think of me,

remember me when you wake,

I am with you all the time,

even though, you do not see.


I sit next to you when you cry at night

I try to comfort and keep you safe

it's my job, it's what I do,

I hold you hand and hold it tight.


Never think they take you for granted,

you give so much to their cause,

What you feel is just not true,

it's never the fact you are unwanted.


Live for today and never look back,

tomorrow we will continue on,

the day after we will begin once more

down this winding, unexplained track.


Always together, you and I

no matter where we go or who we see

our souls are tied together like string

when we are alive and after we die.


Always remember me and my love

Never feel you are alone,

look to the stars and remember this:

I'll be watching you from above.


Just one word, one little call

and i'm there, by your side

as soon as you need me

i'm here and ready to give you my all.

Here and now by Rebecca Scarf.

Don't hold onto the past,

it isn't meant to be here now.

Some things are not meant to last,

you have to accept this and allow

things to change inside your heart.

Be what you need to be,

begin again with a fresh start,

open your eyes and truely see,

the world before you with new eyes

It's never too late to look around,

Do not keep yourself locked up inside,

show a smile and not a frown.

Let it go by Rebecca Scarf.

It's time now to let it go,

that thing that you hold,

your hands are clasped so tight,

your heart; afraid to beat,

your throat; afraid to exhale,

but let it go, just let it go.

I'll take it from you,

but you must hand it to me freely,

you have to be ready to give me this pain,

but now, now is the time to let it go.

How much longer will you stay afraid?

how long can your life be on hold?

I know it comforts you,

I know that you only know sadness,

but now is the time to let it go.

open up your hands,

reach up to the sky

and let it go, just let it go.
