It’s been a long day,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAtiVN6cOOZf
and I’ve got little to say.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAwlQedMR6Oi
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1439Please respect copyright.PENANA6eieWtiTMz
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAqbqVTV3tbR
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31439Please respect copyright.PENANAFMAiXQmaaA
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAlbtPef1ZZK
1439Please respect copyright.PENANAiDJ3ns6qhv
No words dared to part from our lips1439Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4bY177zPn
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1439Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZHfado1HI
We listened to Music together silently,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAOB6fWajPTR
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAp3BJ1AMY3Y
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAmZKkvs9aYy
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAbo8TWw9slf
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1439Please respect copyright.PENANASZRAV9uAfj
I hear the chirping of the birds,1439Please respect copyright.PENANATkqcyxMmB4
I hear their every songlike word.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAQD92wSINkT
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAOhfM91Ua3r
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAP9jsnnYNVV
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAMfx5bZLTLR
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAry9e9JZKrc
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1439Please respect copyright.PENANA3ibBi3oL1Q
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1439Please respect copyright.PENANANBwWEUC3mu
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAHdjexulE0g
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAuqZec43dEN
I like to take things nice and slow,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAaSZMeppRHu
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1439Please respect copyright.PENANACyloViBu0Z
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAnh4henM9Jn
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1439Please respect copyright.PENANABVCC3iQvpb
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1439Please respect copyright.PENANAHcan2fGr3s
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1439Please respect copyright.PENANArnDanG6qBd
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAiIOmx3BAf8
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAXaG6ep7W80
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAOIB3C6UFcT
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAEXGaxBNaAZ
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1439Please respect copyright.PENANANcA37XwTUa
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAX7x0y92bTC
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1439Please respect copyright.PENANAaRxHAMPqZJ
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.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAhsrJVL8Nff
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAxFRlXZD8DI
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1439Please respect copyright.PENANArfydp4KNO6
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAMUNewFkbEy
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1439Please respect copyright.PENANASawLLynJIE
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1439Please respect copyright.PENANAHr8VL0sKb7
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1439Please respect copyright.PENANA98ivzPWsTE
