. Poetry from The Great In-Between: Need some inspiration

Need some inspiration


 Do you ever feel used and abused


By ungrateful people 

With low-level views


Fools

Riding

On high horses


As you work yourself 

Slowly 


Into a hearse


Sometimes 

Things have to change


Or only your old work clothes

Will remain


And that favorite piece of jewelry 

Which you wore with such pride


And loved to be seen


So step back from the brink

Because once you're here


In The Great In-Between


There's no going back

No repeats


Just you feeling defeated 

In this low devilish heat


So live life

But


Love

Share

And care


And maybe 


Just maybe

Good luck and favor


Like a lifesaver


Will follow you

Everywhere you go


Like Christ


Our beloved

Redeemer and Savior


The ultimate 

Second shadow
