It’s been a long day,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAG25HWZ6ct2
and I’ve got little to say.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAVYxf4AzwYJ
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAs2zhJXlpSm
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAiAaeNgffF5
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31421Please respect copyright.PENANAwxkAxcDfNz
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAsAYl9O9bYh
1421Please respect copyright.PENANA6gGSiechuj
No words dared to part from our lips1421Please respect copyright.PENANANuw19VMtPV
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1421Please respect copyright.PENANABsUV1iHSTG
We listened to Music together silently,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAkbNNlBB5sP
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAVEFVB1cpvz
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1421Please respect copyright.PENANANRkG0FaufB
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAAWxXrwHf5d
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAqMq3GNXtw0
I hear the chirping of the birds,1421Please respect copyright.PENANArzx8FtW0x7
I hear their every songlike word.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAdbWssj6CCc
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1421Please respect copyright.PENANATjT8nfeKxv
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAUsY5jdB4An
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1421Please respect copyright.PENANA3td5X2XpWE
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAIi1tiNYZiZ
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAtmmeflvIFX
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAx1h9sGQ8Nf
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAnGx4w9fqby
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAljmPXO6tmS
I like to take things nice and slow,1421Please respect copyright.PENANA7YbD0C21fR
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAs9FnLRdJ9u
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAdtg3nPEMXp
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAALvpBhDTMK
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1421Please respect copyright.PENANAdhQSc8PFQX
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAPB6EvcszXF
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1421Please respect copyright.PENANArXyLKjf7hb
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAkfwSHyuWwQ
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAZbPq4tNcm0
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAvdsfURxOEa
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1421Please respect copyright.PENANA4FSG0O2cbO
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAOi7dlAYCIS
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1421Please respect copyright.PENANAdYDwKRhmZc
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.1421Please respect copyright.PENANApYsRHbDhmL
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAQQSKbevi0Q
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1421Please respect copyright.PENANA1mzbEQKzUI
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAoHPTsyaCRE
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAIbmxRmgBwt
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1421Please respect copyright.PENANAJkyDER4FLJ
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1421Please respect copyright.PENANAkSefgmlnox
