Beyond the Breakers

Upon a rock I stood And pondered on the sea, Stretching way beyond the breakers Out to infinity. I looked to the horizon Where the water met the sky, From my rock I realised How insignificant was I. Above my head seagulls called, In haunting melody. Echoing in an empty sky, As I pondered on the sea.

Another easy seven for me, Gary. You have adequately expressed the deep effect of the ocean on one's psyche.
