It’s been a long day,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAcFGiDIvk8U
and I’ve got little to say.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAr4StXcMLVY
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAIuQI6gNkkG
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAr2KQiQAdCB
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31665Please respect copyright.PENANAiexSeh7lZf
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1665Please respect copyright.PENANALOnyFjspnI
1665Please respect copyright.PENANAim2QOEbWlb
No words dared to part from our lips1665Please respect copyright.PENANAeIO3epQtO7
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAYQJf01jiPK
We listened to Music together silently,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAGMDVUVVqkz
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAKCK0s6wT06
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1665Please respect copyright.PENANApZCLVGWu8t
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAaSfNJ3Nfms
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAUNilo98Jvc
I hear the chirping of the birds,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAjZYaCdm5bc
I hear their every songlike word.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAglMqvGWoa0
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAzk8ngDBBmy
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1665Please respect copyright.PENANALw5XMHJPSC
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAHVnebXjMKM
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAZc0hLWF3LC
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAc8lEThMABy
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAs6rWzDAKX4
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAlpKWNIO6IW
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAYAzvSbaDSb
I like to take things nice and slow,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAn3k5GzCeIL
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1665Please respect copyright.PENANA0y5pKx8SgA
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAgwlcOUL7gG
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1665Please respect copyright.PENANA9mhDCTXuO2
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1665Please respect copyright.PENANAkU0sZXtrdj
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAWDXuYKPi3f
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1665Please respect copyright.PENANADnhzOZJMpf
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAICf65ms0NK
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAJhrHAgX64E
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAJIUGMyh4ho
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1665Please respect copyright.PENANAftaCgk2EhO
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1665Please respect copyright.PENANARaAlyrHDlF
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1665Please respect copyright.PENANASXlUAlp1wR
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.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAIrjrgyz4u3
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAG0NIsd69CN
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1665Please respect copyright.PENANA2T5STxm3Ui
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAmXYjJqcRJu
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAlMyfdC5Yon
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1665Please respect copyright.PENANAO1In974wcx
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1665Please respect copyright.PENANAzYtDE8HB3Y
