Bubble forth and crawl inland
Clamber to die on washed sand
Wave after wave of crested peak
Endless, head over heel the shores seek
Crests and troughs play out an eon
ages too the pearls that bob thereon
Strewn the beech with many a shell
knotted roots where ever they washed fell
Cool welcome is the caressing breeze
spray naughtily sparks up the knees
Frenzied the deluge of inbound wave
hardly if ever what our hearts crave
Many the steps that trench the sand
few if any come with a magic wand
Windswept trees twisted, a bent palm
stand their grounds without a qualm
In nature are strewn messages of life
solutions to mans quest, endless strife

Beautiful poem and I particularly like your last verse summing up the poem well. Thank you for sharing.
Crest and troughs are apt metaphors of life and it true that 'Crests and troughs play out an eon' through the limitless time. It remembers me Longfellow's 'The tide rises, the tide falls'.

I would like to translate this poem
lifes lessons can really be learnt through the beauty and simplicity of nature as well as its ability to nurture and destruct.... well said.. man is the only aberration in the nature's scheme of things, whose greed and hunger knows no bounds.
