It’s been a long day,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAxjA8KtvO51
and I’ve got little to say.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAecz2yCwUU2
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1763Please respect copyright.PENANARvsN2lmF7k
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1763Please respect copyright.PENANATlyg838w6d
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31763Please respect copyright.PENANAdpQZ2D1fG4
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAbQaizpQyD1
1763Please respect copyright.PENANAPnFpWsMMuh
No words dared to part from our lips1763Please respect copyright.PENANA3PFP0XE6Da
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAl40kpnrClG
We listened to Music together silently,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAckPGyYIMZZ
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAyUUstMVjCg
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1763Please respect copyright.PENANA7SvsVPJPBa
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1763Please respect copyright.PENANA26ebhv9ugZ
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAmdvx2T6VE2
I hear the chirping of the birds,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAuZwToiqTH2
I hear their every songlike word.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAUNI8CZjT2D
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1763Please respect copyright.PENANApzgAJdqfW1
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1763Please respect copyright.PENANA2SlxJlfxOz
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAMyLxpefOOT
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAkTgzNFMBK2
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1763Please respect copyright.PENANA1nvuN3xEps
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAo3RzV0wdtL
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAgFVd6vHjRe
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAVerjDHi7K8
I like to take things nice and slow,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAvVt3Ose45V
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAEdHqKLFea3
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1763Please respect copyright.PENANArvtRj7jtK2
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1763Please respect copyright.PENANA7LzcoRURSj
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1763Please respect copyright.PENANAJk6bJiN8jp
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1763Please respect copyright.PENANAlffLHQ6NNw
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAdd14i1Pk7Y
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1763Please respect copyright.PENANA1TkJZqqL6t
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAd3EtUiQXXL
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAl2fDFoYMzO
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1763Please respect copyright.PENANADstVFZPcXb
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAHj6TeYeW41
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1763Please respect copyright.PENANACx3PhO0e6N
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.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAKqwpif1pnS
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1763Please respect copyright.PENANA0vS31eAazm
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1763Please respect copyright.PENANA4hMVhYjTJE
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAVDWESakWQs
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAoweaJrp4DY
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1763Please respect copyright.PENANAKmyqCG2clJ
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1763Please respect copyright.PENANA33dD63sO2A
