It’s been a long day,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAKrOIXrBN3g
and I’ve got little to say.1786Please respect copyright.PENANARgzloJMmVv
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAziXEP61Bws
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1786Please respect copyright.PENANA3FDCvO0rrA
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31786Please respect copyright.PENANAqzRc6QYRnO
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAbomriCR2ZX
1786Please respect copyright.PENANAmlhOAfMq0f
No words dared to part from our lips1786Please respect copyright.PENANA85mOyLDmnf
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAGLtlG2VcGA
We listened to Music together silently,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAEqRVJHA0Xv
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAlxfBImzXyX
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1786Please respect copyright.PENANA0BBvQm8dlV
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAJsysDSwHT2
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAj3ZkQSVtWk
I hear the chirping of the birds,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAgOqmPeyhCm
I hear their every songlike word.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAHKj2LLHtVi
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAfChWwm4mJV
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAMdxCLn75mZ
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAcRpssBAugS
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1786Please respect copyright.PENANATlYPydcHfU
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAnjY22QBBKG
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1786Please respect copyright.PENANATci39kMr62
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAJTHRFageuH
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAlD4exL2jet
I like to take things nice and slow,1786Please respect copyright.PENANALiFIWkevdB
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1786Please respect copyright.PENANA316eFqS7sV
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1786Please respect copyright.PENANA22xvhEegUC
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1786Please respect copyright.PENANApU8tJipaMQ
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1786Please respect copyright.PENANAPsqqTbOLb0
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAwrS9SWyJOz
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1786Please respect copyright.PENANA0x2wk93YCY
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAfxnmAnTZ8B
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1786Please respect copyright.PENANA3iSMuQuerR
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAg1TjrpsxI3
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAcBaRUz5kaP
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1786Please respect copyright.PENANA1C2Unqhltb
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAZSvpWoyBCn
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.1786Please respect copyright.PENANA9fVBbRGl0l
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAkTlQds9LRS
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1786Please respect copyright.PENANAfPko7vcb2Q
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAYjBikXVNmN
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAgq9kTDhvcd
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1786Please respect copyright.PENANAOsocciUPn6
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1786Please respect copyright.PENANAAtbTMadNj3
