It’s been a long day,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAIRC3Ac6Evr
and I’ve got little to say.1851Please respect copyright.PENANARyLsrcmbco
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAcL9AOxdEYG
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1851Please respect copyright.PENANATtMVL36nSr
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31851Please respect copyright.PENANAqG5CGc8eD4
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAB9PBXEtDNW
1851Please respect copyright.PENANAJZpjcRK2Pd
No words dared to part from our lips1851Please respect copyright.PENANAI1A6nVZntP
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAseMJIiIddi
We listened to Music together silently,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAL9uVvWHreR
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAMwXVAIilrx
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAfRtghQGMxJ
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1851Please respect copyright.PENANACUHBcUhqSG
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAfsFUBKX33A
I hear the chirping of the birds,1851Please respect copyright.PENANA1JdsFVh3TT
I hear their every songlike word.1851Please respect copyright.PENANA11BjLgc1vI
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAHqIIHIsd3m
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1851Please respect copyright.PENANALXwvKPKtI6
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1851Please respect copyright.PENANASOk4YuRscL
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAUVu4XeD7i3
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1851Please respect copyright.PENANARxWfm4l0Mq
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAtGQiKUo8f3
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAsjlGeQT1W1
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAMoglwPQlq3
I like to take things nice and slow,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAuI9Bh8NcHe
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAyv469vAjkn
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAKoses10cIc
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAOf8AnHLdWF
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1851Please respect copyright.PENANAyMhqGPzmBn
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1851Please respect copyright.PENANARnBRC4Gm21
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAjn7lQAzMFI
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1851Please respect copyright.PENANA84GDdJIiXQ
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAuWnzhxdfd2
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1851Please respect copyright.PENANA6lA4aU1Sk3
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1851Please respect copyright.PENANArY4BCZO1mH
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1851Please respect copyright.PENANARcnYU8JaUS
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAGrMF1ujfLd
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.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAIGMfEAH05W
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAyueqSdLl8L
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1851Please respect copyright.PENANAKlAAVj7BGs
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAMaqjpIwYCU
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1851Please respect copyright.PENANA7v5s5uQ2RH
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1851Please respect copyright.PENANAmeIAxRILzI
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1851Please respect copyright.PENANASVw04qEiiR
