It’s been a long day,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAwHvIv4eaLq
and I’ve got little to say.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAy408uPJMxF
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAYPB9pLKGZF
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAQvTWCgnp9Q
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31822Please respect copyright.PENANArHuIdw798Y
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAln4Hox7qpX
1822Please respect copyright.PENANApToDyGHrAp
No words dared to part from our lips1822Please respect copyright.PENANAcw9XTnIX8n
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAOak2RtWMr6
We listened to Music together silently,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAdolvpWtIJF
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAM5YglzoO3u
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAA4eXEHthUf
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAq0egrFGYWz
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAX8eIZoT1oq
I hear the chirping of the birds,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAZBXRoCTpPc
I hear their every songlike word.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAHsDtTLGfxC
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1822Please respect copyright.PENANA18lqDUzDm5
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAwgv0R4NAx4
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAV38eorUBYw
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ6azY9iHA
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1822Please respect copyright.PENANA8t8XeV98uA
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAEiu7h3IZlK
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1822Please respect copyright.PENANA75O8Dif2fG
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAkJpWIgx2vW
I like to take things nice and slow,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAsyCq40fy6X
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAIdouWNWRa3
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAmsIpEcrat1
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAdpVEksxI2M
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1822Please respect copyright.PENANAlzTfuxdTaJ
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1822Please respect copyright.PENANA6HiQ8smcqR
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAgiUlaqPaS3
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAbCF3nIPrBE
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAnkRnKOhns9
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAJMv1wPP1FT
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAqFO50D8PPM
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1822Please respect copyright.PENANA78RWbQg2jm
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1822Please respect copyright.PENANAfXZPqRvEDE
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.1822Please respect copyright.PENANA6CRbjcP920
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAfiOSyM7oC7
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1822Please respect copyright.PENANA3vOSrQTtuU
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAMHZjzcmxl6
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAgN0ILztvOZ
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1822Please respect copyright.PENANAjsaRBJkTM1
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1822Please respect copyright.PENANAebryuYkULF
