It’s been a long day,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAM9i8NJGsRj
and I’ve got little to say.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAH69eax1CEf
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAcxLSUpWHZB
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAcAkTOde9Wq
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31441Please respect copyright.PENANAosYlh60HCj
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1441Please respect copyright.PENANASfwV7jlOyj
1441Please respect copyright.PENANAWEU8v911od
No words dared to part from our lips1441Please respect copyright.PENANAU0PVTPMNKs
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAEUDS4ybtqP
We listened to Music together silently,1441Please respect copyright.PENANADpU7PMaOFh
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAMYVKhmqPJY
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAgJquuMtv6g
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAXPCdhMplJf
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1441Please respect copyright.PENANA0j7ElAvKlo
I hear the chirping of the birds,1441Please respect copyright.PENANA8hO2FjIU1F
I hear their every songlike word.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAnSXk1VzvMj
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAbphxQQ8eoK
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1441Please respect copyright.PENANA0D9wvyg0oJ
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAnPWKq70V7j
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAA3TxNwkYuh
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1441Please respect copyright.PENANApMhyiJ7LM8
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1441Please respect copyright.PENANA5B43TlmtX4
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAITbS9t3Q7O
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAmdwXK4Q7rJ
I like to take things nice and slow,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAKulG7VVm9E
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1441Please respect copyright.PENANA8LdpgAW83V
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1441Please respect copyright.PENANALhlHs91ecJ
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1441Please respect copyright.PENANA1eTQgfnXra
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1441Please respect copyright.PENANAOoWjH4TQck
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAfIDD2woj9V
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAzAhUrYxoPV
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAZCtzq9bz0C
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAsdWWDJceSa
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAW3tRsNaE0l
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAHxc4L1EhhD
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAL8eCoNJNcZ
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1441Please respect copyright.PENANAuJRHxWF3Yk
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.1441Please respect copyright.PENANARSBmOu2mIW
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAnjaHRfWLme
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1441Please respect copyright.PENANADZmiwFsstC
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1441Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vqoh5pLq1
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1441Please respect copyright.PENANAa8fvy7v1RD
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1441Please respect copyright.PENANA4yxOK5y0uq
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1441Please respect copyright.PENANAcm7t0MqdLg
