It’s been a long day,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAZgkPgoeCnv
and I’ve got little to say.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA2bDYRu7DAQ
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAPiXBp1QTi1
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA6BCpqjmpPE
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31764Please respect copyright.PENANAPi4q9nDlaq
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAciOrejftlC
1764Please respect copyright.PENANAC9meTCM7mT
No words dared to part from our lips1764Please respect copyright.PENANAUuS7tqWjbA
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA78IfjavTcL
We listened to Music together silently,1764Please respect copyright.PENANA6D9Oqe9t42
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAHTt2ber6Yx
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAX1j21RCRCw
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ6b12KDRB
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA9peFlhUvPn
I hear the chirping of the birds,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAuNIj2PImbx
I hear their every songlike word.1764Please respect copyright.PENANArG91IqyCg9
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1764Please respect copyright.PENANA3KXE283e3H
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAVyXuRsMROW
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAAWh8UWxuqR
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8wilJkUUF
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAYDQITDHZTD
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAiUU4a46L3q
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAsMcbIsseGP
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAI7zsK3QqeS
I like to take things nice and slow,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAVAtsxdcG8y
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAYwNQ6OIzHi
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAeiL9bgP9YM
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAHSgC8TZxzz
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1764Please respect copyright.PENANAtvcD2OA5Lp
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAz9LMiUPOjz
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAemcJw8ddAA
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1764Please respect copyright.PENANA1CHA3ogFMU
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA6neYttJsv4
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA2P49WWJTvW
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1764Please respect copyright.PENANALXGBQlBOwF
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA6pORDwNEV0
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAO7GofLiQvP
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.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAEEzA5mGqU6
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA3birSpE3mb
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1764Please respect copyright.PENANAwR3DtlAv2M
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1764Please respect copyright.PENANA8wGOzeloE2
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1764Please respect copyright.PENANAjjtXNrOBFs
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1764Please respect copyright.PENANATyMwTZ2uyD
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1764Please respect copyright.PENANAiXJaHAf7ie
