It’s been a long day,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAAg3qifG01B
and I’ve got little to say.1829Please respect copyright.PENANA4w16srIQzy
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAfjjw7Jq1jh
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAqu3sttPbJb
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31829Please respect copyright.PENANAUy2ZcAjlwG
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAo4PEhYhTUI
1829Please respect copyright.PENANAkG2pLa4GY9
No words dared to part from our lips1829Please respect copyright.PENANAQjQSkfIjFk
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1829Please respect copyright.PENANADyfHNn5kcJ
We listened to Music together silently,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAelS4OKCZWJ
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAz2azLGkoy5
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA6NpGelbvps
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1829Please respect copyright.PENANACzRojPTbRc
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1829Please respect copyright.PENANA5MRkZR2wE8
I hear the chirping of the birds,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAjO7jP3dzsu
I hear their every songlike word.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAwnDQXlUHQX
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAAYdoSi8Ctm
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAGpdsvGqMAx
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAHySsXzFB4a
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1829Please respect copyright.PENANArf3I6pxpq6
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAn9CDlkZFIW
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA76iUpv0PvX
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAnlsjkw2qH8
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAV7p8fxFWBP
I like to take things nice and slow,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAtcMziQ9CMG
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAkjRPRfer8F
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAwJZkKNAbsq
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAtQ9NmRwgE9
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1829Please respect copyright.PENANASXPIrkUywv
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA1LcmsbCQmr
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAB2u2ohdq03
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1829Please respect copyright.PENANATOzbuEEA3I
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAyrAOdU8UVg
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAuldNnnP0vv
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAzsvP17sWrJ
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1829Please respect copyright.PENANANHVv4atdZT
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAB4S1V7ZA38
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.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAeDJeQDWRnY
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAh187e2FUNW
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA4zVCRYif8S
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAAY6VujdR0s
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAAGJet5r3uO
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAVFDnIdLRd8
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1829Please respect copyright.PENANAbR232EJShK
