It’s been a long day,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7O3YLsySL
and I’ve got little to say.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAxXxeeosjrG
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAlpf39J2Lfp
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1821Please respect copyright.PENANArYpz2ciBV6
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31821Please respect copyright.PENANAw4MWEMyPJ0
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1821Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gr2bzTuXT
1821Please respect copyright.PENANANXY6bHfapD
No words dared to part from our lips1821Please respect copyright.PENANA6UIwo0UaYJ
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAUlu6MAfSbK
We listened to Music together silently,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAk7mr6I36QT
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAWzTeqfPWNj
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAUtAgVpgkVu
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAT1BJRWzoi2
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAWnYpEUQVun
I hear the chirping of the birds,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAHenMVFkU9r
I hear their every songlike word.1821Please respect copyright.PENANA1dtDnOazjb
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAWe4EO7rMZN
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1821Please respect copyright.PENANADMpMgC33Wt
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1821Please respect copyright.PENANA6mKHddeOdw
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAz8DCyeQq2V
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1821Please respect copyright.PENANA8uAAFI5f3O
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAPsToEXiabW
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1821Please respect copyright.PENANA5zHYulfb5j
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAQ36GOxXKZG
I like to take things nice and slow,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAygyYYSmXDO
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1821Please respect copyright.PENANACS2y9qef8Z
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAOaCREXbcVG
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAPrdZHFiZyt
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1821Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Pigp7iEV
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAExNVTDkk9o
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAGIda5TKCUH
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAqrCqfGZPWA
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1821Please respect copyright.PENANA3xgk39B0X2
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAj4RHGESqZ6
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1821Please respect copyright.PENANAiDrjaFqXGT
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1821Please respect copyright.PENANASSo2L3kWPy
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1821Please respect copyright.PENANABXPhnF27FT
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.1821Please respect copyright.PENANA4kBFQWCTzx
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAOd11SAvul4
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1821Please respect copyright.PENANABKayrRTRDa
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAKJ3DEECl3D
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1821Please respect copyright.PENANA4PYk1WeHmO
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1821Please respect copyright.PENANAUoDA5ccbOr
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1821Please respect copyright.PENANAkMRrmMLCbI
