In these corridors of the beyond,
where nostalgia drapes like a heavy fog,
the past whispers sweetly.
Yet irony is the bitter thread entwined
within the tapestry of recollection.
Remember when zones were tangible?
When each step beyond felt like an adventure,
not a mere echo of what once was?
The irony, of course, is relentless,
mocking the obstinate search for meaning.
We tread familiar paths, though
the landmarks fade into the mist.
Echoes of antiquity
whisper in tones both melancholic and sweet,
mocking our nostalgic pursuits.
Yet beyond, there lies another irony,
a comfort in uncertainty—
a serene acceptance of the transient.
Ashes of past zones, scattered in the wind,
paint pictures of forgotten glories.
Sit for a while in silent reverie,
amidst the remnants of an imagined empire.
Each grain of nostalgia a relic,
each sigh a sonnet uncomposed—
a tragic serenade in the zone beyond.
