It’s been a long day,1857Please respect copyright.PENANA9HC62shDC4
and I’ve got little to say.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAYCzoyoIW22
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1857Please respect copyright.PENANA78ovXsm8KD
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1857Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZKWBaodMF
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31857Please respect copyright.PENANASTZJFXFKXA
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAwHksNu8HWK
1857Please respect copyright.PENANAN8QZabLioU
No words dared to part from our lips1857Please respect copyright.PENANAgl3NtN7foP
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAA2n7IY2tsj
We listened to Music together silently,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAughvzpKrB2
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAU4xzEQTsgN
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2vjV3W5eF
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1857Please respect copyright.PENANA80BMPTCpYG
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1857Please respect copyright.PENANA9thRMG9lvJ
I hear the chirping of the birds,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAvZWJVzpRmL
I hear their every songlike word.1857Please respect copyright.PENANA748bA9IFPY
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAObspM0GEit
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1857Please respect copyright.PENANA33z8s8FLp2
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1857Please respect copyright.PENANACgQ8hXc7Jm
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1857Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tx9EckVe1
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAviVH6KM1Tz
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAo2Z7fGA3Cq
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAaxMkY1JWqF
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAnahl5NFb0n
I like to take things nice and slow,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAQXbPYxt67I
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAa0ZoCnqEbf
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAPmnZiLAkCF
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1857Please respect copyright.PENANA1gtrk4vDfs
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1857Please respect copyright.PENANAL9vDdrpnSH
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAjWaQm568jC
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1857Please respect copyright.PENANA3sR89L2CsC
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1857Please respect copyright.PENANALgAsI2d9t4
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1857Please respect copyright.PENANA1M4AwH4PSi
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAO7IKJNsOyr
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAbFHGv9YTkY
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1857Please respect copyright.PENANA0zeBj4xEfy
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1857Please respect copyright.PENANA92bYT7ahRY
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.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAEWz0GSdiPm
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAupAx4kktSr
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1857Please respect copyright.PENANAglCL8efjtb
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAU3Mv5yWtsL
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAHu8q8gRCM2
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1857Please respect copyright.PENANAAw3nqs0rCH
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1857Please respect copyright.PENANAISza3cHIfC
