Autumn’s Forgotten Dream: Poetry Inspired by Nargaroth’s Music

The music in the YouTube video below, Forgotten Memory of a Dying Dream, has utterly captivated me. Its delicate piano notes, scattered like raindrops, lull me into a trance, much like the gentle patter of autumn rain. I find myself playing it on repeat, mesmerized by its melancholic beauty. The music is both soothing and evocative, drawing me into a realm of reflection and relaxation. Inspired by this, I felt compelled to offer a poetic response—an embrace, of sorts, to the mood it evokes. But please, I encourage you to listen to the music to fully appreciate the inspiration behind the poem—I have had it on repeat for days.

Autumn’s Forgotten Dream

The keys fall soft, like autumn rain,
A whispered sigh in quiet refrain.
Each note, a droplet, cool and clear,
Tells of dreams that disappear.

The melody drifts, a mournful breeze,
Through branches bare of summer’s leaves.
It echoes long, then fades away,
Like shadows at the edge of day.

In every pause, the silence hums,
A memory of what never comes.
The piano weeps in gentle streams,
For forgotten hopes and dying dreams.
