It’s been a long day,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAP7y9xZJemy
and I’ve got little to say.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAqvXb5UwayY
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAkhE2qkQw23
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1750Please respect copyright.PENANARnOywJIPsr
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31750Please respect copyright.PENANAUSZgWDELgg
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1750Please respect copyright.PENANA98sNZFtPz0
1750Please respect copyright.PENANAgsj6h9gbQL
No words dared to part from our lips1750Please respect copyright.PENANA0MRa62yUue
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1750Please respect copyright.PENANADaopsY5h9w
We listened to Music together silently,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAzDYgawNc8O
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1750Please respect copyright.PENANA7coaFLHGzI
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1750Please respect copyright.PENANABTTi1L8P7C
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAtlJeC44o2J
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAb4Mhn3PHGh
I hear the chirping of the birds,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAF6NTZZlYcv
I hear their every songlike word.1750Please respect copyright.PENANArUAz0cDwfn
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAXu809Wwvu2
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1750Please respect copyright.PENANA3ltYQvOwvG
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAOPTT4mheKd
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAtJF9WYJCh0
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAM2yD9oMzIO
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAf9cOFuEKj0
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAyWZmDURa8x
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1750Please respect copyright.PENANA0TRl5KDCui
I like to take things nice and slow,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAP4OjZXkDcJ
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAI4HKIjNh2P
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAJHhfaMuOkH
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAeZJ77Pj3Iv
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1750Please respect copyright.PENANAHg4LCvH3tI
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAFOEo7xctil
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAPeJD9ndehP
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAGBSR5Qt4ow
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1750Please respect copyright.PENANA44nO1r53ym
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1750Please respect copyright.PENANA2atBntF5ez
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1750Please respect copyright.PENANA3KAl5q6CZ7
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAyf70a88FqF
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1750Please respect copyright.PENANAHRFCwWqaFI
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.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAFcM8SN2e99
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1750Please respect copyright.PENANA8oqHQgA3HT
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1750Please respect copyright.PENANALIkpOMACDf
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAGiRcD3LzP4
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAQpR6QwHCXJ
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1750Please respect copyright.PENANAO9wNM6E3V5
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1750Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZHczordbc
