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.

Three hearts

Awake my love, the morning comes!
 At last I see your smiling face
 Grant me this and only this
 To be with you till slumber wins

 Is there need for other things?
 What joy can any other bring?
 I chose to set my love on you
and nothing else can ever do

 Forever, now you've told me twice
 I believe; with all that I am
 Come what may come what will
 Forever we'll be together still

 What is this? I call. I call.
 But no one comes for quite a while
There you are! I've found you now
 Where'd you go? I'm glad your safe

 Rest, rest. I hear you say
 I lost my way, but now I'm here
 And now again we'll never part
 Don't worry, don't worry, you have my heart

Where'd you go now? Lost again?
 My love has lost her way again
 Twice now the door has closed
 But is she lost, or has she gone?

 Lost, Lost! you say to me
 I lost my way but not again
This time I will watch my way
This time I will never stray

 Now your here, but where'd you go?
 You're here in flesh but not in soul
The lamp I see is burning out
The flame is gone, but where'd it go?

 Another, another. There is another.
Your heart has loved another lover
 So here I stand with broken glass
From a memory never come to pass

 Oh, what is that I seem to hear?
 Forever, forever rings in my ear
 A promise I hoped would last
But crumbles now at first attack

 Formed it was with sincere love
But lacking that which makes it strong
 No pith, no strength no commitment was found
 It was thought that feeling would linger round

 Come back my love it isn't safe!
 Your lover loves with cruel hate
 Guard your heart, don't let it break
 Come back to me, come back it's safe

 Too late, too late the damage is done
 Two hearts are scarred from one mistake
 One breaks from loss, one breaks from gain
 Oh, will they ever be the same?

 Away, away she's gone away
 I want to follow, to show the way
 But lost in full is her love for me
 How can you help what scorns your love?

 No, not lost. I see a spark
 A tiny flame inside her heart
 Will it last? And will it grow?
 I guess it's not for me to know

 The wood cries out from stinging blows
 The roots can feel it down below
The pain extends to every part
The pain, the pain of a broken heart

 Return to me my lover scorned
 For I as well have left a love
 Return to me and heal this pain
I am the loved who's lost a lover

 Good morning, my love that never left
 I don't deserve your tender care
What is this? The one I loved
Has come again to love the lover
