Seven Seas

SEVEN SEAS

To the ancients, ‘seven’ often meant ‘several’ before the 15th Century the seven seas were;

1. THE RED SEA
2. THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
3. THE PERSIAN GULF
4. THE BLACK SEA
5. THE ADRIATIC SEA
6. THE CASPIAN SEA
7. THE INDIAN OCEAN

Today the world ocean is divided into four main oceans;
The Arctic, The Atlantic, The Pacific and The Indian Ocean
In addition there are numerous smaller seas and gulfs.

Stab a sorry heart
With your favourite finger
Paint the whole world blue
And stop your tears from stinging
Hear the cavemen singing
Good news they’re bringing

Seven seas

Swimming them so well

Glad to see

My face among them

Kissing the tortoise shell

A longing for
Some fresher feeling
Belonging
Or just forever kneeling
Where is the sense in stealing
Without the grace to be it

Seven seas
Swimming them so well
Glad to see
My face among them
Kissing the tortoise shell
