It’s been a long day,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAvwSXpbj4w2
and I’ve got little to say.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAnRtNsaaIGz
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1674Please respect copyright.PENANA0lLwvar8wj
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1674Please respect copyright.PENANARxwsOqsjRo
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31674Please respect copyright.PENANA0CDVrCut6s
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1674Please respect copyright.PENANA0LEEz0Km0M
1674Please respect copyright.PENANAWUGMDO7dTW
No words dared to part from our lips1674Please respect copyright.PENANAdR31eYb3Re
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAxiwxcV5Xe3
We listened to Music together silently,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAcRfc2CrOCa
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAuEcNNZQ0ky
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1674Please respect copyright.PENANA7SHtn3nEHd
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAACU86vPi74
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAAPLuWDJDC8
I hear the chirping of the birds,1674Please respect copyright.PENANA2Hiw7UQ2U1
I hear their every songlike word.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAvrdazDtAho
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAfV73xePBTJ
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1674Please respect copyright.PENANA00wGuF1ypV
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAFdMXI98HMB
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAXFVpU5Jbeu
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAdBKdnDuGJK
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAJlmE9opeqS
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1674Please respect copyright.PENANA5xk9N0JplU
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAFJi514AOow
I like to take things nice and slow,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAqToqQUbiqM
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAr4EZScHV1R
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAzUF1Wge9EH
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1674Please respect copyright.PENANArJnV19BvXl
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1674Please respect copyright.PENANA4TtEZOqUA7
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1674Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZXISxmE43
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAb9wEen0oCb
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAmLWQu7KAgE
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAowsGzdDCDa
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAtsRiTAvFeY
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1674Please respect copyright.PENANA0qOB5ko6QE
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAuL6cXogdf5
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAnqB9MCIKS3
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.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAuJYHpdLjGp
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAnrk0YavIA5
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1674Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9fjLwzr5Q
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAcUEkjkblDn
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1674Please respect copyright.PENANA6egbM0eS0h
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1674Please respect copyright.PENANAC2GTCqY8yl
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1674Please respect copyright.PENANAsXz8JDujlE
