To and Back

A play was enacted
with a drum beating prologue,
evaporated into thin air
after some acts.
Enacting and evaporating
time and again.

Seeds were sown
but the fields remained barren.
Seeds are sown
yet the fields stay barren.

Time gone never returned
but it returns steps backward
from the starting point
everytime it matches.
