It’s been a long day,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAMpcFA37SPV
and I’ve got little to say.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAgjQ8p7ykmk
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAsPZQtJXvcF
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAwV7UNCPLZU
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31747Please respect copyright.PENANAfn6zFWqvzT
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1747Please respect copyright.PENANASdaT4AcEeb
1747Please respect copyright.PENANAxz7ToBW2eT
No words dared to part from our lips1747Please respect copyright.PENANAYNg2UbJWB4
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAjJDfZGdh9N
We listened to Music together silently,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAXZf84RiIoU
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1747Please respect copyright.PENANA6xxRMdrmbs
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1747Please respect copyright.PENANA8kYsN2HMZw
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAXYODyXkC2g
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAnqyaxFlipi
I hear the chirping of the birds,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAyk2NYhZRwb
I hear their every songlike word.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAUxcHf9MhwT
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAnfCLTPuaAm
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1747Please respect copyright.PENANA6juHqZKPB4
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAcgVyVic4qo
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAjEhYzS3uhw
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAnGMfJZKqEA
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAZDhra4jm9F
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAR7YHrXius6
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1747Please respect copyright.PENANA6But80qZy2
I like to take things nice and slow,1747Please respect copyright.PENANARAjmnxtiRh
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAGuRfqfRXB7
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAnalcJSqBSI
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAAFjPjHP3hN
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1747Please respect copyright.PENANANu4u6rl2m0
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAzyy4P13KDy
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAgjUJJefx33
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1747Please respect copyright.PENANABsx18tRlF4
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1747Please respect copyright.PENANASIULDJEC9q
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAq7QWCv882v
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAWDIeLMovnF
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAiAIUHAeDMn
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAYpofjBDfKO
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.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAbVJva5ytZn
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAglrzmxHhzl
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1747Please respect copyright.PENANAzIPlmV6NGE
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1747Please respect copyright.PENANA1pma1O3Jyn
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1747Please respect copyright.PENANA3wbiqafCWL
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1747Please respect copyright.PENANAwEL4bo9YU6
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1747Please respect copyright.PENANAmawyHR5gek
