It’s been a long day,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAl3ziXS8Gj0
and I’ve got little to say.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAy8HyF62S55
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAzJCop2WqEb
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAqFSRTLTfCo
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31447Please respect copyright.PENANAdj1BepPqnr
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1447Please respect copyright.PENANA9dZJH1SHzd
1447Please respect copyright.PENANArLu7X4tD94
No words dared to part from our lips1447Please respect copyright.PENANAKRDJAIz37j
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAhop8wqukKW
We listened to Music together silently,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAMTDhALtKBI
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1447Please respect copyright.PENANA6kBHzcud2i
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAvpBVJSS3Wv
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAHNP9pbq5cA
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAjGjTzTRJOe
I hear the chirping of the birds,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAfvN4oUw5ik
I hear their every songlike word.1447Please respect copyright.PENANA6jzfdDYApp
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAripfjMY7IK
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1447Please respect copyright.PENANARqvCJAOJLV
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAufnZ9bJ6pc
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAD6AZoyiEMZ
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAdEAIm7ytrI
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAg1X2YMhITv
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAgrCNTfAtQ1
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1447Please respect copyright.PENANABWb2uHTykC
I like to take things nice and slow,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAMbIZ5wsphx
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAsXHpMje1Zu
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAJNl527Ir9L
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAONy6fzMdiE
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1447Please respect copyright.PENANACEIkgrc0xC
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAg3yZcmJvNj
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAdt2fwY7Et0
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAsl31x34OE3
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAP5ZGR4laUf
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Yc0VjPYp
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAdei6sMM9mW
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAd2tS8FSBkH
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAmOh98PBg3W
while he may leave me behind as nothing more than a name.
In the end, the Music from my MP3, as it must, comes to a halt.1447Please respect copyright.PENANA9iNfQnVDXu
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAFmkSo3Zwv7
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1447Please respect copyright.PENANAcBhtwke2qi
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAdGjBonesUW
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1447Please respect copyright.PENANAPbttkTR9pX
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1447Please respect copyright.PENANApCVuz5KmRA
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1447Please respect copyright.PENANAV6DWJrg9os
