It’s been a long day,1780Please respect copyright.PENANABEzpHsrsot
and I’ve got little to say.1780Please respect copyright.PENANA2jAzDIRd2v
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAZmw882GE7R
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAZvNavdcWJC
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31780Please respect copyright.PENANA0leRUvlMGN
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAXlEuEhMEZ9
1780Please respect copyright.PENANAcmN4bhJ2oQ
No words dared to part from our lips1780Please respect copyright.PENANA4z8q2Ycitk
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1780Please respect copyright.PENANADl3jYq8cqi
We listened to Music together silently,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAPVUhcJYgHU
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAHoZzYckNi2
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAm0k5EA8Dtm
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAxdH9mE8lqM
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1780Please respect copyright.PENANABmZ5qPAcCi
I hear the chirping of the birds,1780Please respect copyright.PENANABATmBu771s
I hear their every songlike word.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAkb5DpDXzkq
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1780Please respect copyright.PENANA8UYeRC15E1
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1780Please respect copyright.PENANACoykLdUEie
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAlxHR4XNv88
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAyOBxWQwIOR
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAgsCzX9ONuV
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAuggBWEnd2h
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAu4F21bONsv
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAvy7L0ITktj
I like to take things nice and slow,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAG7XAEK8DUx
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAdW6jnPZewU
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1780Please respect copyright.PENANA4bJmuSmUbA
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAjXhTQ9vXBc
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1780Please respect copyright.PENANAhR3iM8kFSb
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAczKdxQLWkN
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAtz5NJhbX0B
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAmy0Ki9tW9H
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1780Please respect copyright.PENANABRva81STRS
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAvB8Nxy0RRG
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAVRXG4h3wBv
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAPX0OUkJmqs
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1780Please respect copyright.PENANA7KdPGx1ECe
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.1780Please respect copyright.PENANArwlvjuw9vJ
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1780Please respect copyright.PENANAjN1AmBtRND
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1780Please respect copyright.PENANAwCSoz5iqQP
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1780Please respect copyright.PENANA05acdY9iLt
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1780Please respect copyright.PENANA8Zdu9FUBsk
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1780Please respect copyright.PENANApAzHhPD4cg
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1780Please respect copyright.PENANAw06Fuctmpk
