There was once a girl
who stood at the edge of the sea
plagued by thoughts
and full of worry.
She prayed for comfort,
but the gods did not hear.
She was consumed by pain
and torment and fear.
A friend nearby saw her standing there.
He whispered her name and
stroked her hair.
He grasped her wrist
removed her watch,
and threw it into the water.
He kissed her forehead and told her
"There is no such thing as
time."
