Consuming
I swallowed the ocean
I gulped it like tea.
I devoured the land,
I drank up the sea.
I ripped open the heavens,
I inhaled the trees.
I left nothing in my path,
Not even a pea.
I engulfed the living,
Even the smallest of fleas.
I swallowed the ocean,
I gulped it like tea.
But I did leave one thing behind,
Me.
