Her Haunting Presence

There is the undertone of a haunting melodic presence
unheard by others because she wants my attention
I do not immediately recognize her lamenting song
however her voice is unique and cuts to my reptilian brain
My heart keens to her presence, there is a sorrowful joy
I have not heard her song for over twenty-eight years.
It is a day for listening and appreciating her ethereal efforts
Proof that spirit can return to this side of the veil.

And generally for a reason, too, Caren. Deb could always smell our B&B spirit's perfume before we would see other signs of her presence.

Deb had the psychic gift of clairalience - the ability to smell spirit. I have it and so does Joe.
