Contiuation, is like the ocean,
Never ending, but always open.

Limitless, as it can be,
Limited, as you will see.

Space and time, never end,
Life and death, can't contend.

It never stops, doesn't slow,
Like water, it has perfect flow.

Continues, and continues as continuation can,
Just like wind, flies from a fan.

The curves in the sea, number great,
But they will end, it is fate.

Life can be short, so don't wait,
Death is there, it is fate.

Your meter is off. Badly. Lines run on and others stop. The couplets are nice, but they're not used properly to make the poem work well. You speak of continuation, but it feels as if you end with a contradiction. I have no problems with contradictions, however, I'm lost as how the poem goes from this to that. Also, your couplet stanzas seem to jump without any thought to them. Perhaps I'm lacking the insight right now, but there just seems to be an organizational problem with this poem.

You should add rabbits. Add rabbits and it'd be a superb coalition of words and... 'contradictions'. So... rabbits.

uummm... I guess my responding comment didn't register? But, I said, I accept constructive criticism in the fullest of ways, and I wrote this in literally, 5 minutes.

Yeah, I agree with the other guys, contradicting, and not rythmical, but I guess you could consider it good, based on the time you spent on writing it....? lol
