It’s been a long day,2229Please respect copyright.PENANA7IeYLayQDJ
and I’ve got little to say.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAzjPn7eWJ9T
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAeYtMWSl8MC
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAmcYAfk6dyA
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP32229Please respect copyright.PENANA0KEDj6g6fO
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAo22dgN3sHK
2229Please respect copyright.PENANAUpi09FAHnu
No words dared to part from our lips2229Please respect copyright.PENANALwYiPVB3Zv
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAZxT3qyTCmG
We listened to Music together silently,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAatymLir352
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAjI7p8tYTyO
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,2229Please respect copyright.PENANA4QadlUFzOl
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAIp41JvXmMw
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.2229Please respect copyright.PENANA435FXQH6Wn
I hear the chirping of the birds,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAmbBxahbJef
I hear their every songlike word.2229Please respect copyright.PENANApr2lYAKPAj
I hear the whispers of the breeze,2229Please respect copyright.PENANACRn72A1k6P
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAJXjRA4j7hU
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAOhdqHaZJmB
The Music playing was his favorite kind,2229Please respect copyright.PENANArKSixcrwFw
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.2229Please respect copyright.PENANATN5QwQnfj8
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,2229Please respect copyright.PENANApJtdVLwNU7
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAqcJVggwiKE
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAmuOJsq1LUR
I like to take things nice and slow,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAvIgLVMwbiS
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAfcPiZOzk4H
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,2229Please respect copyright.PENANARPsa6rG2UC
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAHyLQNysFsg
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”2229Please respect copyright.PENANALorMwYZhHr
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAsqpr4BBkAx
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAXMzfoxBt8R
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAhNNqvl3QhN
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAmY7NFKBZmh
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAmj2rLb70aT
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAC8T1Lflqs7
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAcYEml8Wsv0
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,2229Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tqrz42CTj
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.2229Please respect copyright.PENANA5JijiA7qfi
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAVYoLcVjtDI
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,2229Please respect copyright.PENANAhyxyE3PPe3
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAAXJAMMYC8c
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAldYE1BzkOQ
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.2229Please respect copyright.PENANAKOLqoRaqVp
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”2229Please respect copyright.PENANAoQYzzXrHIE
