The Character of Time

with joy, comes pain

no more til the end

with no end, comes infinity

the compass of time runs like no other

the knot pulls tighter than ever before

come together to fight the tiger

all in all with nothing in hand

to express the sensation of a moment

the difference is unique to the watch,

but everything is the same to the clock.
