The Interlude of Aphradere: Remember Me Always

Does anyone consider my times of tribulation? The waters of her oceanic figure guides me still She leads me beside quiet streams of jubilation Desolation is nowhere to be seen anymore, for she's a keeper of the radiant rivermill For you and I to swim to in times of need, away from the adversary For you and I to nourish our marvelous seed of serenity's sanctuary Acknowledge my pain-staking regret, left unseen in most stranger's vacant eyes that hopelessly stare I am left unstable on the table like a weeping infant, fighting life or death in reality's strange nightmare You thrive on my sorrowful realm of thought that course inside me and I recognized that I needed to apologize because I ignored your cries You're alive and I survived, so appreciate me for who I've become, not who I was before and we are significantly stronger than we realize Reach out to adequately hopeful horizons, Oh godly daughters and sons And always remember without a trace of fear - We will be rescued from the waters of Aphradere As long as we have an incredible interlude And an everlasting attitude of gratitude Listen, she whispers in our dreams As we almost fall away at the seams: Remember me, Remember me Remember me always For, the waters of Aphradere has reached its interlude… She doesn't mean to intrude...she just wants to be understood Listen, she whispers in our dreams As we almost fall away at the seams: Remember me, Remember me Remember me forevermore She's the bittersweet rainstorm That you abhor and adore She's beyond the norm as she lays unnoticed like a puddle in your dorm… Drowning in the waters of Aphradere What's been lost has been lost for many a year She wants to hold on to you and I oh so dear To give us cheer, yet it's weighing us down with anxieties that draw near She whispers steadily: Remember me - that's my only plea - As I spiral away and away Into the drain speedily Into the interlude of everyday's relief and dismay Forget and forgive Aphradere's waters of shimmering shame Give gladness, glory and honor to God's most gracious Name Grief will not conquer us as long as our final outcome Is to wait patiently for something bigger than us - His Kingdom

Stunning thoughts, simply beautiful poem. All 4 chapters. This line in particular struck me as very profound, "You're alive and I survived, so appreciate me for who I've become, not who I was before and we are significantly stronger than we realize..."
