It’s been a long day,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAmaTDC5RjBi
and I’ve got little to say.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAgn6IKTy2Q8
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAYkWnvfEYlQ
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAdN4ga2csHx
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31682Please respect copyright.PENANAnsbFebQpgU
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAQPXNkeIJaD
1682Please respect copyright.PENANASgGVhxdZPm
No words dared to part from our lips1682Please respect copyright.PENANAUG1zVeupdR
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAlPUTp6uD98
We listened to Music together silently,1682Please respect copyright.PENANACXMHgwkb42
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1682Please respect copyright.PENANADSy7sIgtao
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAQb3r8NWsd5
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAEIqelqKRDO
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1682Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pzfe3cCOd
I hear the chirping of the birds,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAR0dl0FwKON
I hear their every songlike word.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAKeoIQJnEbp
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAeLYd7ajSsP
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAYfUSCAuAKT
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1682Please respect copyright.PENANA8KHzkXWft2
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1682Please respect copyright.PENANACcqvSOpqV7
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAS6Y2wPutQq
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAsAamm2Qv1T
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAUjrurLEv2m
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1682Please respect copyright.PENANA5bArrgiKmv
I like to take things nice and slow,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAqCbadf6SvR
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAzhCu6gA7VB
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAAYZMo7VPd7
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAgpejyBaDCc
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1682Please respect copyright.PENANAZSPPRWBoKB
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAlSy443HiBt
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1682Please respect copyright.PENANA1MLmdfx1YB
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1682Please respect copyright.PENANATk40ADeE8t
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAeUWe2HXOC8
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1682Please respect copyright.PENANA8fz7d91EfQ
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1682Please respect copyright.PENANA2zkCj1pCR0
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAXIH1sjbhhL
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1682Please respect copyright.PENANA4UISMdIGde
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.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAWEeRX8gQdr
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAtjngVTPjEn
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1682Please respect copyright.PENANAuBX7BfaQsg
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAA7BSWrKxXq
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1682Please respect copyright.PENANA3t8cyz6CMD
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1682Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ9MVHXpeI
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1682Please respect copyright.PENANA29HnTSqfOb
