It’s been a long day,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAVr2KBrdewf
and I’ve got little to say.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAIdNpDwiouE
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1705Please respect copyright.PENANARtTEJ7d4Mw
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAwu29twQjqx
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31705Please respect copyright.PENANA42jTnve3ju
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1705Please respect copyright.PENANARCUHtBIO2m
1705Please respect copyright.PENANAITb904qfuf
No words dared to part from our lips1705Please respect copyright.PENANAz26ce4S82f
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1705Please respect copyright.PENANA6thh8CbgGP
We listened to Music together silently,1705Please respect copyright.PENANANuRmK5DDGo
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAEHJ9eXZDZH
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAOztE7rM74X
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1705Please respect copyright.PENANA8tGArIrjeI
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAlBlMO2xzAu
I hear the chirping of the birds,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAsHRwfbc6aC
I hear their every songlike word.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAvV126fmvyC
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAemzXgw05Vr
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAjGCVI26Ef4
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAipts1k2mC3
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAofYwhSvtIG
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAdOvQ9lYdmY
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAYpkYMgws1t
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAXvVaPpIQeb
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAtKzVt4Qu6n
I like to take things nice and slow,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAjGVTLSgm5q
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAkEc0iXVxYO
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAalhlqAtdzV
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAYw9qeskTBK
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1705Please respect copyright.PENANAhetZJFZRa2
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1705Please respect copyright.PENANArWsvIXLPLb
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAtzi0MUONKa
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1705Please respect copyright.PENANADxMukmBsll
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAj59H7mflmo
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAsuyIaGa2XB
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1705Please respect copyright.PENANA4qQza2PzSl
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAsvKpiLKwH8
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1705Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7yiieGNLi
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.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAnCiCGWtK7L
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAibzjV5lYkE
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1705Please respect copyright.PENANA6hT7SoAT3C
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAIwkBNrrdph
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1705Please respect copyright.PENANA1G7M2miVm0
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1705Please respect copyright.PENANAMOq7YnufLj
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1705Please respect copyright.PENANAtt8jddVKCG
