Statue of Clay?

So why didn't I just put my name? Well, to answer that question I'll first tell you why I chose this name. I chose it because it's what I am. See, my goal is to be a statue that stands fixed pointing to heaven, and for now i'm just made of clay. When the rain comes I often melt and lose my form. But the more I stare at the sky, the more the Son will bake me, and the stronger I will become. One day I hope to be a statue of stone, that can stand the weather, unmovable, staring to the sky without blinking. Why didn't I just use my name? Because every time I write I don't want it to be "me" writing. I want to remember to keep my gaze fixed upon Him and so I chose a name that will remind me to do just that.

the result of many thoughts

Blast the rain! Let it fall!
Let it come and wash us all away
For we are but waves in the end
Winged creatures now taking flight leaving behind those still learning to fly
Here the paths part, here the songs are sung
The journey now traveled the fight well fought
But though the battle fierce and the journey perilous
The hardest part has yet to come
For just as the moon sets on the ocean we can see its path in the water
But there’s no going back
The wind is rising, taking us home to our places of dwelling
Memories lost, but not forgotten
Vows broken, yet never made
Take me away!!!
Show me how to fly, and how to trust the air
Run to the valley for therein is danger, and in danger, safety
Bring the storm to test courage!
The fire to test the metal!
Until at last there is nothing left but that which is pure and right
Leave me where I fall, for I know the way, but I must learn the path
Leave a candle at the door cause I know the warmth it brings
And it calls to me
Then bring the rain, so that in know it’s real

I'm not sure really what it means...it's more the compilation of many meanings. I'm not really sure what it is either. But I pray that somehow God may use it to bless you through His great power.
