It’s been a long day,1707Please respect copyright.PENANACQ55AJGMiq
and I’ve got little to say.1707Please respect copyright.PENANATH4rQavhVi
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1707Please respect copyright.PENANA7VZ4QizrIq
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAX4BNuPp7hQ
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31707Please respect copyright.PENANAncffurZvU3
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAK4gAVt08k8
1707Please respect copyright.PENANAK30TZCOpDV
No words dared to part from our lips1707Please respect copyright.PENANAi3UFiquFjA
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1707Please respect copyright.PENANA7t8jCHRo2l
We listened to Music together silently,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAEo1EBB9qq3
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAFo9fH4Sefi
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAkZnmTxjiJ1
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAmUtZwRfNlT
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1707Please respect copyright.PENANA5kspwplQ8l
I hear the chirping of the birds,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAG13YwdKgp1
I hear their every songlike word.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAyGtixdKKJI
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAARSUox51Zi
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAuzVXUYWqEQ
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1707Please respect copyright.PENANABqya6hPRFU
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAA2hGlYPM3l
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAN2BLDzGLqC
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAgOwdCKPSEK
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1707Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fb1ZPb9wN
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAhhuHv7FXD6
I like to take things nice and slow,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAJlXcPTUN6h
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAXcljNviT2z
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1707Please respect copyright.PENANADSQpVSDDpR
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAWyBMYECwdf
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1707Please respect copyright.PENANAVa7MMayeEd
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAFy7Do5IYVj
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAkzVQeHOhbU
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAVLPBNVTh6b
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAqe8dQmebnz
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAJiFAaJb0fM
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAsis25W0rYE
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1707Please respect copyright.PENANADZ0cAvFQtb
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1707Please respect copyright.PENANAKTbxrsrgtO
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.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAJlc1VrUBpS
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAlV5SoD5tE2
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1707Please respect copyright.PENANA9nddu1IhEu
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAsbLPpEQHPf
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1707Please respect copyright.PENANALL0iuAD1Ef
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1707Please respect copyright.PENANAwk77uSQ6Wp
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1707Please respect copyright.PENANAjIHZ1oQblS
