Never Ending Cycle (Free verse) by ingwa
Small and plundering
large and thundering
strong and powerful
white-toped and rolling
Gales and breezes
blow and turn
never ending always
moon affected cycle
Blue-green walls
the hand of God reaches
surfers paradise
a swimmers worst nightmare
Beauty to the eye
a great photograph too
with still frame animation
mists captured for eternity
Rocks and cliffs
you sculpt and erode
changing the landscape
on a continuous basis
Tsunami and lapping
shapes of all kinds
distinctly familiar
peaceful or raging
Never ending it breaks
upon the shoreline
against the rock sprays
a great ride for crabs

The best poems about neverendings and eternities are in fact those that do not use these words...
<< white-topped and rolling >>
white topped and rolling. The problem with English is that it has many combiwords that call for a hyphen and they are quite ugly in poems.
Nice last line.
