It’s been a long day,1783Please respect copyright.PENANATRSuG9EEHk
and I’ve got little to say.1783Please respect copyright.PENANACZhczDPkqn
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1783Please respect copyright.PENANABGcaM4QR2a
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAtmgLRmwSdr
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31783Please respect copyright.PENANApMOEl7TFWl
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAKahiUsp4pw
1783Please respect copyright.PENANAdChmZLWRFe
No words dared to part from our lips1783Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ440QTQ7j
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ8aYIzx5l
We listened to Music together silently,1783Please respect copyright.PENANArLqZ9w0R0c
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1783Please respect copyright.PENANALO1EXeEiF0
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAaVp33ahNPN
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAazTcsEINZx
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAerZ11gLqYH
I hear the chirping of the birds,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAPsl3ZS2zIS
I hear their every songlike word.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAbXd1UeRmD4
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAInR7vLa8At
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAX6dgaZKmpv
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAhaYr8uarTt
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAFLiLi8dxCS
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAtzQ9jPxIM6
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1783Please respect copyright.PENANA7gLuF11zFr
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAjWIQX1EAXc
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1783Please respect copyright.PENANA3rhjoswb9K
I like to take things nice and slow,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAiTe7RKhZDl
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAyUfuuZSztw
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAbTCjjeJDWh
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAlPGuUNOZfF
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1783Please respect copyright.PENANAfrS5q77Gwd
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAI0kR6FeGlM
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAK6C7HFglSj
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1783Please respect copyright.PENANArqdfSqX3Le
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAdaObSgU1eV
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAKYigOodKxc
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1783Please respect copyright.PENANAjy1fjOpPhd
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAVjN7FxWMif
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1783Please respect copyright.PENANALF9NRuOECW
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.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAKKjj65oQhq
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAeEUHtWjJvV
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1783Please respect copyright.PENANA9bo5c7TwDQ
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1783Please respect copyright.PENANAfq3VvfMIqC
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1783Please respect copyright.PENANABu8eTsH898
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1783Please respect copyright.PENANALzm1qiGt6t
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1783Please respect copyright.PENANA9e2xqklVub
