It’s been a long day,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAFDrDzUwYI2
and I’ve got little to say.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAbiC6kLjn3N
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2rNquto4Y
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAeCSXW4XA6x
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31433Please respect copyright.PENANAaprzgQB6PB
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAksrKiXnnA6
1433Please respect copyright.PENANASwaIdPRCPP
No words dared to part from our lips1433Please respect copyright.PENANAUjwG08iHUf
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAK1eqmZDtpQ
We listened to Music together silently,1433Please respect copyright.PENANANN7XPBmhat
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1433Please respect copyright.PENANADEdm4wOotx
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAUCWPztYZ4u
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAMchLmWhDGi
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1433Please respect copyright.PENANADChAIWKEkp
I hear the chirping of the birds,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAOpJW13RXDQ
I hear their every songlike word.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAUIEvqQbqbV
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAla3rPBQNEY
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAGo5EYiyGyW
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAM76jVH1tl4
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1433Please respect copyright.PENANA2MSN5azrWu
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1433Please respect copyright.PENANA6NoMmO2czR
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAe5OYjDUQ0r
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAnMdOLIlyk9
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAR5s2qhb0Wm
I like to take things nice and slow,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAdfdFStEuKe
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAXvNDWWMUQC
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAkrCbVlXML8
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAXYLU2vxA1s
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1433Please respect copyright.PENANAWpcoXb9FNG
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAZV3O32vWP9
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAZujkhuOzDX
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1433Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ay5Iywh2f
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1433Please respect copyright.PENANArHTQnrxeog
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1433Please respect copyright.PENANA5RbORjA1ke
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1433Please respect copyright.PENANAfkQK2Ulq1Y
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAOQKeJze3Ce
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1433Please respect copyright.PENANADKWWVOLfk7
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.1433Please respect copyright.PENANARvqHQf7vbR
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1433Please respect copyright.PENANAtj3MUzDTWq
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1433Please respect copyright.PENANALmUGi08txM
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1433Please respect copyright.PENANACSG8eBSbiR
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1433Please respect copyright.PENANA5RzXcOdVFk
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1433Please respect copyright.PENANA0K3ijbZk2s
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1433Please respect copyright.PENANAaDyBK5AJVV
