It’s been a long day,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Quv8ksvR
and I’ve got little to say.1765Please respect copyright.PENANA5vHEsthcH4
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1765Please respect copyright.PENANALJMa70nrs9
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAS7t1NIPk3a
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31765Please respect copyright.PENANAo3TF4dGy8u
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAy2vmagZIwT
1765Please respect copyright.PENANA73P0lYBGgR
No words dared to part from our lips1765Please respect copyright.PENANA8eiGfnG6E1
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1765Please respect copyright.PENANA3xfC2yz1WY
We listened to Music together silently,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAb94oTfpHfY
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAnjJitze1Ql
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAddbEk8il7s
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1765Please respect copyright.PENANADKB51u5yln
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAXqYQHlrKA1
I hear the chirping of the birds,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAX4HCCsNUE2
I hear their every songlike word.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAlDv6GWoUrn
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAi41kEMn5KF
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAsX06K0mtMU
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAAkDhho42d4
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAf3OWCyD83L
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAr1WlzQ52D5
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1765Please respect copyright.PENANA1nge1YJBFD
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAUMrdjVqTt9
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1765Please respect copyright.PENANA7LZZPk5RX1
I like to take things nice and slow,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAtjAQCiXx33
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAeAp3DfmOyq
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAf8P77H8FHL
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAjmpg3gRKM0
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1765Please respect copyright.PENANAqYvUXFiMKF
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAwoDvrYc0MR
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1765Please respect copyright.PENANA5UMgNmXxMl
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAEn9nP2rHr2
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1765Please respect copyright.PENANArGd629GM0r
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1765Please respect copyright.PENANA2F7gAbdFLc
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAiKbiP9OnLi
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAbLn4AKL6hw
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAvLkGE7hoNr
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.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAs1GG6T5qTQ
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAohczOo6kRY
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1765Please respect copyright.PENANAacD9Dooyt9
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1765Please respect copyright.PENANAPgKCmXCTca
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1765Please respect copyright.PENANA8idmV6ZyRC
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1765Please respect copyright.PENANANzPISM3S9M
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1765Please respect copyright.PENANAR64lDsJbkf
