HAUNTING BY ROTE

It has been said that sometimes,

When a soul is lost to disease and death,

It cannot find rest in the ever after.

That soul is me, Arline...

And I am stuck on the earthly plane for reasons above my knowledge base.

I pray every day for God,

Or Satan,

To take me away and give me a different kind of peace.

But, neither one of them has returned my plea,

And I am stuck in this place,

Where I am compelled to continue this... Haunting By Rote.

HAUNTING BY ROTE

When I was alive and well, I was called Arline Salomon by my parents and friends and others.

I was always the protector force among my friends and family... I was compelled to be a watcher.

I barely slept an entire night during my 29 years of life... I walked the halls of my parent's home like a sentry.

And after the cancer took me away from life, I came back... to haunt my parent's home, again... invisible... tangible... a watcher... a sentry!
