It’s been a long day,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAJ941kKg1nK
and I’ve got little to say.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAhF6Cr78kxH
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAFHlDH43A1g
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1850Please respect copyright.PENANACHdxYWMbga
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31850Please respect copyright.PENANAIYxWAEsS1J
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAOZUaVFNmh2
1850Please respect copyright.PENANAxjFphyOPia
No words dared to part from our lips1850Please respect copyright.PENANAjobC7RMuXy
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAITlfmNSZTy
We listened to Music together silently,1850Please respect copyright.PENANANktPdugC4F
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAo2YK7NDFew
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA4LPnNQXDXu
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA1MeUhO8fm5
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAaLNH6L5VJa
I hear the chirping of the birds,1850Please respect copyright.PENANApkuygF0N8N
I hear their every songlike word.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAxbCSC6zp0R
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAlk5Ig0qBSl
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAZzorX14hYV
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1850Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ta7SSrcvv
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAAR6liH9jqZ
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAGy0Ixea3uP
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAgjsKUYP4l1
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1850Please respect copyright.PENANASD0YAqk3El
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAVDBSCGakkh
I like to take things nice and slow,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA9L2uTEv6gF
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAE1sd6OKcrA
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA1UqIGITaER
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAOfTx2tOlZi
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1850Please respect copyright.PENANAyPQbYoc4a0
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1850Please respect copyright.PENANALbM84tubLg
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAKsiZslnaNf
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAY69f6gKl5q
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAfyr3hxVtyv
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAWE1augchex
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAe0byKOwbCC
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANASIU7c7Os3C
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAgceTGn2LAb
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.1850Please respect copyright.PENANALGPeR92SnT
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAFmZnCuaIeZ
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAbDj38NYdBV
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAXx3bAmA3cb
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAWmkSJxWaKN
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAswlaCupajP
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1850Please respect copyright.PENANAw4vTORxlZA
