It’s been a long day,1849Please respect copyright.PENANALbzbNrCD7a
and I’ve got little to say.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAFYEKVdZ1R6
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAJiHyIbrZDm
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAumMGZsn2hd
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31849Please respect copyright.PENANAFsdfJyq7Ms
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAMtXVDqx6fe
1849Please respect copyright.PENANAGP6FlsggRx
No words dared to part from our lips1849Please respect copyright.PENANAmqnuuG3p3h
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAUJAiEuUcoO
We listened to Music together silently,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAbuidFJ1pEr
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAbi6PR5efsI
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAvzl0FsAaRO
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAPlr7LnAxje
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1849Please respect copyright.PENANABdY2gxDVeC
I hear the chirping of the birds,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAdwb4TmxnP0
I hear their every songlike word.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAWFVYoLxx0z
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAmyIJruP2B4
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAnKETbWgAXH
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA0UNOZH0XVb
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA7WRCP4Ok3n
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAAesqX5FuRb
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAq8Uca2uhFg
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAaqEf4IA20X
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAggvY65hFE4
I like to take things nice and slow,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA96u9kUvAbE
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAoGKTmy8Q5C
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAgOUrRT1xP8
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1849Please respect copyright.PENANABEfvMJ4Sv4
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1849Please respect copyright.PENANAKbTdKJcWmH
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAhe4BT5FQ38
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAsT2YnF4Uy7
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA6VhII4eOUf
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1849Please respect copyright.PENANANlweOrH8LR
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAOvqe9uBE3f
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3Mh3aqCn6
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1849Please respect copyright.PENANANDcUrdrCKa
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA1WaZOS6FyO
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.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA2FgAuq48Un
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAgcXb9zyKUV
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAekGVMoyBel
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAEgymLiOCUb
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAS5s2Cc39ot
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA11kuwa8q83
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1849Please respect copyright.PENANA0hz1sHuX1n
