It’s been a long day,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAQSMWSYqtrd
and I’ve got little to say.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAa4bHtVHjBl
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1843Please respect copyright.PENANANCMinuk6h3
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1843Please respect copyright.PENANANnNrvh3lx5
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31843Please respect copyright.PENANAsS0LmpmO1U
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ1Z5SRDmg
1843Please respect copyright.PENANAnMP9twiXxZ
No words dared to part from our lips1843Please respect copyright.PENANASe7v0BbVCD
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1843Please respect copyright.PENANA0sMaoN8izZ
We listened to Music together silently,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAtQvlBp8YJN
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8pQKqb2x3
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1843Please respect copyright.PENANACpDb6uIPID
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAlFD2MwAHjp
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAKa6pwKX8JD
I hear the chirping of the birds,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAHUmHfphpao
I hear their every songlike word.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAAeRodqGIh3
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAv15Dzg4QrE
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAaq9Pphw3wn
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAb4e6Nng8nH
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAExyDHKLXYK
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAlsrfXm93rp
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAlLg1Isfte8
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAzgUnGHhgNL
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1843Please respect copyright.PENANA5vZKAKl77v
I like to take things nice and slow,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAKpAowZji0h
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAU3iwLskEc8
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAJKnnnOQJlD
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAwo2owEjhzS
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1843Please respect copyright.PENANAkaGr5JANvJ
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1843Please respect copyright.PENANA7z6hnvutkS
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAVn7r2qB4de
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAY6yZJNjhwx
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAP1OD9KVEJg
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAxKftXgbOjI
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAGLv2ykA9rU
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1843Please respect copyright.PENANASDI2cm4wzx
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAioOZzkDfIu
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.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAhPfSMs3y7K
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAgts1zjaEw2
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1843Please respect copyright.PENANAxqYKCmEQgy
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAkzLIzKRmqw
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1843Please respect copyright.PENANAVwv56hQn3p
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1843Please respect copyright.PENANA03AjotzMiL
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1843Please respect copyright.PENANAfZy1lOjr1O
