It’s been a long day,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAqd5SfWC4Ae
and I’ve got little to say.1752Please respect copyright.PENANANFGzdP259C
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAmDyl4b8YxI
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1752Please respect copyright.PENANADbn8ETnmBS
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31752Please respect copyright.PENANAtIxgU5bDmY
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAtrizzOzrFm
1752Please respect copyright.PENANAFqOjqCRJ9D
No words dared to part from our lips1752Please respect copyright.PENANANBkgvzQTmb
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1752Please respect copyright.PENANA0CowLRjVK7
We listened to Music together silently,1752Please respect copyright.PENANA81b06qhSEI
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAg07PkwHHVg
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAlosV8qd77X
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAUWZL3nCh3N
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAW3usZyydte
I hear the chirping of the birds,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAU4gV72vOl6
I hear their every songlike word.1752Please respect copyright.PENANA502gWofVDu
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAJQfjUvWL61
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1752Please respect copyright.PENANA56WE52BahH
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1752Please respect copyright.PENANACMf45viIJk
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAMUqQdpFeLb
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAL3q50Kpg7V
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1752Please respect copyright.PENANARDmSjqUZFl
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAyEe8vWonig
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAUFixfPz5M0
I like to take things nice and slow,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAo35TgRReAq
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAU16aB1Oxrv
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1752Please respect copyright.PENANABAHFbIu5jP
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAn34ZtHPooo
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1752Please respect copyright.PENANAz3xID1KUBE
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAxEX9TWuLLs
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1752Please respect copyright.PENANArAwYoRBpZq
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1752Please respect copyright.PENANA9xDimJcA2n
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAoQpFfiRpeP
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAnMPkulhSGr
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAW73GYkrKL5
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAbpIhcfXL5w
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAPmxbx2HVUb
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.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAWO4sYzmV7g
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1752Please respect copyright.PENANA7j7wzST86e
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1752Please respect copyright.PENANAAAsgZyiqt1
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1752Please respect copyright.PENANA8DD6kbDvWG
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAm7rmWZV1Us
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1752Please respect copyright.PENANAaHL7vyztqA
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1752Please respect copyright.PENANAtEG3ehdXZd
