Against the Sea
#2
This poem is somewhat hard to comprehend. Some of your word arrangements need to be changed, for example "Do we stand and wonder for you where to now", and "To the rock to the pebble and to dust under plough". Also, On the first line it could help with the flow if you removed "for an age". Lots of things can be done to effect the flow of this.
For reasons why you should change it up a bit to make it easier:
Readers usually don't want to read each line several times to understand things.
If the poem is hard to read, people have to work really hard to understand, and can often be just unable to understand the meaning of the poem.

I myself was unable to understand what the poem's theme was. Keep trying though, you will get better.
