It’s been a long day,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAKde623Pn0U
and I’ve got little to say.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAlZXas6ysD1
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAzU6fMcZMso
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1731Please respect copyright.PENANA9hO2zcm9C7
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31731Please respect copyright.PENANAz7uwM65a6e
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAVa1GeIRMUi
1731Please respect copyright.PENANAHLTaqafVL7
No words dared to part from our lips1731Please respect copyright.PENANAv0m5X9FW91
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAAFQKSuiN7b
We listened to Music together silently,1731Please respect copyright.PENANA3EZXSRtBM5
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAnJQFyXTUsn
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1731Please respect copyright.PENANACBP6WjRGVB
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAVKFfIGGxBe
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAmNIXTj08oY
I hear the chirping of the birds,1731Please respect copyright.PENANACsQ8yJ6SJA
I hear their every songlike word.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAIs0WVFMoTk
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1731Please respect copyright.PENANA3jjVjPh69U
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAoHZaZwng5n
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAbN8p1rSDgi
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1731Please respect copyright.PENANA4heXaD2cZR
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAX1qCPCI9UV
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAqIrcYXgKfS
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1731Please respect copyright.PENANA1m3zTaOSHq
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAp6M6zwq4wl
I like to take things nice and slow,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAmkFuPh2PF9
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ8DEGKURW
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1731Please respect copyright.PENANADBrGRVz3vn
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAJd5FtBkU9Y
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1731Please respect copyright.PENANAiuZUlfzzhm
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAOHTUj1HEk6
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAOf5n396MQA
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAGF7BHLoCEA
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAI4EPqPR0mh
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAn1KLrDhVql
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAKtrANU3qnz
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1731Please respect copyright.PENANA2BbrjS5MaM
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1731Please respect copyright.PENANAeAPbiepem4
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.1731Please respect copyright.PENANA9213WyGSJ3
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1731Please respect copyright.PENANANGJaNCGkud
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1731Please respect copyright.PENANA7de0T2lQDt
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAmM4c3bwIHa
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1731Please respect copyright.PENANATCaxvBvkul
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1731Please respect copyright.PENANAAdl4ULPPOc
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1731Please respect copyright.PENANAgFVGbYSsoy
