It’s been a long day,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAhbH2cjH0UM
and I’ve got little to say.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAG79tc7jFJO
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAKHUb311wHp
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAoelVsVUi8X
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31913Please respect copyright.PENANArHWRCMO70O
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAtqVLJ0n5hx
1913Please respect copyright.PENANA3vE81HxpKS
No words dared to part from our lips1913Please respect copyright.PENANAw04vhvg50L
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAuSnWwG2vNt
We listened to Music together silently,1913Please respect copyright.PENANABWhjvOzegn
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAkG4znUvRkQ
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1913Please respect copyright.PENANADmycaceSVc
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAaxroSzbWQo
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAtmswSkAyl3
I hear the chirping of the birds,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAm6L3IoozdV
I hear their every songlike word.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAbtDWMR2aTs
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1913Please respect copyright.PENANA5BgAVBHUqd
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAhRnVFGT2hC
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAEtvNpyL88I
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAsJGnfbCrMW
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAzKgIdN9j5w
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1913Please respect copyright.PENANA7eEiIJjqgO
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAsmDObmgV5C
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1913Please respect copyright.PENANA06Mn0QM7kU
I like to take things nice and slow,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAETYjqUPOvu
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAYOUPq5RoJn
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAlOvuPg7wvV
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAEsIsFdjANA
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1913Please respect copyright.PENANAYox2nG94cA
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1913Please respect copyright.PENANA1mOtb8F3MA
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAVItQKwYthE
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAZl3j6Ybl9D
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1913Please respect copyright.PENANA9DEHuzHH84
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAdplC5jNiNA
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAX0fQ0jJ9vM
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAg76dVynLf2
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1913Please respect copyright.PENANAUoVWsYNwaJ
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.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAAxSsz2x6RX
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAATCIOxHpHW
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1913Please respect copyright.PENANACbhrQd9KKo
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAYvBhEkGkg4
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0H8IINNoq
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1913Please respect copyright.PENANAFOe39xmvjH
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1913Please respect copyright.PENANAR7cf2mwFNr
