It’s been a long day,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAcdlx4zlRCo
and I’ve got little to say.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAQu6NMhE7TD
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAolD7zurcyC
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAik0e3a3sG8
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31718Please respect copyright.PENANAzeGwgyjmas
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAssJGcnfC9F
1718Please respect copyright.PENANABCd0pJXeyp
No words dared to part from our lips1718Please respect copyright.PENANAf7OA5XeHh4
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAcvyid5x1em
We listened to Music together silently,1718Please respect copyright.PENANACHCgc00C0s
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAqRpM2ijB10
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAosGeEOjHeq
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1718Please respect copyright.PENANA5qNVZL3aDd
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAaZspgusuR5
I hear the chirping of the birds,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAzHn4xPAcQl
I hear their every songlike word.1718Please respect copyright.PENANA1TfcjpjK9U
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAdXYj7QURDV
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAkUTURIp7Jf
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAgDk3Jex1jM
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAaJTT77ndAV
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1718Please respect copyright.PENANA2vK2Gfk4tp
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAEyDZfL3itz
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1718Please respect copyright.PENANACtE8fJNx6Q
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1718Please respect copyright.PENANADmyWT6wjqV
I like to take things nice and slow,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAwC5zFQEgRH
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1718Please respect copyright.PENANATGyLPKCf9W
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAdyrFMrvlI7
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1718Please respect copyright.PENANA7RQRj0xaND
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1718Please respect copyright.PENANAc7RoBEDEkb
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1718Please respect copyright.PENANANLAumFyQQE
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAfvRXDWFFbt
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAijCqMbCL2x
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8RM9ktQ2l
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAYCBPktImHL
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAsHuXwoDJ2B
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAjlxb8LZR87
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1718Please respect copyright.PENANArMUU1eN8e6
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.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAQC4pP2Y8FV
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1718Please respect copyright.PENANA26HNF1Na0E
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1718Please respect copyright.PENANAoLGe7y6zFV
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAtp4NBgyokH
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1718Please respect copyright.PENANANlAbOr4YRd
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1718Please respect copyright.PENANAxHzxJbnriK
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1718Please respect copyright.PENANACegxDzjRLr
