It’s been a long day,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAWE8TgPcPNF
and I’ve got little to say.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAS95DOkHPLV
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAIQqY5omh04
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA3gdo5t5ZpD
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31849Please respect copyright.PENANAqMZfdmvvBU
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAkOAWMwiq6E
1849Please respect copyright.PENANAx1Vq4Qcku2
No words dared to part from our lips1849Please respect copyright.PENANAVOCPg3XNcD
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAUt9qgNxyVN
We listened to Music together silently,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA1gIxRNkpoG
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ9XpAmsWm
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAesR3nFWD6i
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAC251YGTmb0
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA09wdwzuXLb
I hear the chirping of the birds,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAuiKmR1inv3
I hear their every songlike word.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA73gEcHb9nF
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1849Please respect copyright.PENANABgXAIN9qBC
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1849Please respect copyright.PENANARvkCuRfPGQ
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAhVp4gDwrXT
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA9WNGa1GCeL
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAKNaOa0pTeo
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAqdcNJoivhz
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA9bZuM8fwtn
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nml6wrGKR
I like to take things nice and slow,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAPEyqvIneBA
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAurgxBXAZxp
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA0tR9c5SCXv
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.PENANAam4ISVQG2z
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1849Please respect copyright.PENANAiek899hrcs
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAIpFau9Ok0c
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1849Please respect copyright.PENANA7l7dZ68ipR
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAuJtF91L2cH
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.PENANAUNHNwvv3Op
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAxrk2ncvUwx
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1849Please respect copyright.PENANAJOYZRloQC7
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAMi8YJLeCAm
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1849Please respect copyright.PENANA1CK7sMXOaN
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.PENANAfOLTBshvkS
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAsC3c0mtWmo
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1849Please respect copyright.PENANALho6xZ7YAf
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAof6kqnGNxV
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1849Please respect copyright.PENANAkS3IXTpJR6
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.PENANAkRcmZbxjS4
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1849Please respect copyright.PENANAdqP0DrfPNG
