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.

Running

I'm not sure if I really like it...The timing seems to be a little off, but here it is anyway. :)

This is much more than yes or no
It's more than just a missing piece

Peace, when did it vanish?
Time, how did it sneak by?

Buy for me another chance
Or send me a shining Knight

Night may show us the stars
But they were always there

Their warning never came
And yet, the train still leaves

Leaves change, but never overnight
Between summer and winter come fall

Fall to the ground now
Rise before the sun

The son prepares to leave his home
Always with a tear in his eye

I watch for the answer to come
And pray that it's not all a lie

Lie here for a while and pray with me
And together we can write the tale

Tell me now if I should leave
But don't leave me here to wait

Weight so heavy I cannot stand
Wind so cold it leave me bare

Bear with me a little, while I fight
Then follow me into the dark wood

Would you stay to the end of time?
Sit on the beach and watch the sea?

See the world at your fingertips
Those fingers afraid to let go

Go east! says a voice to me
A voice I've heard but don't know

No where to go but into the storm
And pray that I make it out alive
