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.
