There are several elements I enjoyed about this poem. As others have noted, it's cryptic, but because of that, I find it appealing in that it gave me space to wander and ponder the subject. And what is that subject? For me, I thought about Time: the movement of time, the transience of things, the revolutionary aspect of happenings; how things seem to return to itself. I liked the title you gave the poem.
Thanks murran and ellajam! Yes, murran, you are correct on the subject. The title does help give a little hint to the overall meaning, but I was trying to capture the feeling of moving forward and changing but also finding more of the same and ultimately coming to terms with the fact that life itself is transient. I will work an edit and repost, hopefully with the message a little more clear!
