It’s been a long day,1481Please respect copyright.PENANA7h0QQXkdvY
and I’ve got little to say.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAVmK5EvzPpj
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAXgyNNfqX0M
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAVEXI3OWiJw
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31481Please respect copyright.PENANA2FdfPKWRdk
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAVZipUXXMf6
1481Please respect copyright.PENANAxu4w8rxvox
No words dared to part from our lips1481Please respect copyright.PENANADrqLyeASuE
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1481Please respect copyright.PENANA7WPNoT35TT
We listened to Music together silently,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAzQI9UnVmku
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAsVeHDLd3WZ
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1481Please respect copyright.PENANA3GYzSITpeR
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAG2HG1btaAl
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1481Please respect copyright.PENANA4xkYoX7ZGn
I hear the chirping of the birds,1481Please respect copyright.PENANATTWziKAdvw
I hear their every songlike word.1481Please respect copyright.PENANASCt5LRqe1u
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAb0e9qnRTeW
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAMkcdOzycLK
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAgW0ZvEJU9x
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAhKbXc0XQp2
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAaXecTvA8td
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAEwJBXhWmXi
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1481Please respect copyright.PENANA6P7b8lVzOE
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1481Please respect copyright.PENANA40iwMq3O9O
I like to take things nice and slow,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAN64JiN5XM4
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAGwzvGIJLIi
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAbpnrSlxOAE
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1481Please respect copyright.PENANA5hlwGvGOkl
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1481Please respect copyright.PENANAmYyLAdNLEC
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAto5yOn9YyE
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAv1aFTifZTt
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAGuLBUmVoyF
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAA069qkfqUl
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1481Please respect copyright.PENANA9Mz756bBeq
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1481Please respect copyright.PENANA4IkIg8LNwF
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAXTXFt72jA9
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAIw1pKSzkaI
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.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAUBd95TvH7F
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1481Please respect copyright.PENANA8wutIfvmcp
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1481Please respect copyright.PENANAmDwyBE440c
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1481Please respect copyright.PENANAgdmK4PxSEy
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1481Please respect copyright.PENANA6EruTTgLt0
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1481Please respect copyright.PENANApRfgwEb0qs
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1481Please respect copyright.PENANAwZXLCoFeND
