"Sheltered"

Shelter in the Rock
As the rock kisses the ocean,
intricate beauty comes alive.
Crabs crawl out of crevices.
Inanimate shells are put into motion.
By clinging to the rock when it’s dry,
they are well-placed when waters arrive.
At times when I, too, feel dry,
no signs of life or movement,
let me cling to the rock of Jesus
resting upon His firm foundation,
ready and waiting for life-giving waters
to saturate me once again.

So important: "let me cling to the rock of Jesus." And I like the fascinating photography.
