It’s been a long day,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAQhUoymZapY
and I’ve got little to say.1850Please respect copyright.PENANA2xwX8xRI7G
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAXoPenKpGPd
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAsHhlZMn6k6
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31850Please respect copyright.PENANAGcY57LXlll
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1850Please respect copyright.PENANASav9XbDrNn
1850Please respect copyright.PENANACWvpRjB9WG
No words dared to part from our lips1850Please respect copyright.PENANAJf47trcCn7
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1850Please respect copyright.PENANArynNx3WKsk
We listened to Music together silently,1850Please respect copyright.PENANASMvcGWcbwn
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1850Please respect copyright.PENANA3EcEglIMmU
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAcBpgFW6vfR
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAnoGl7KZj5a
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAnsOCpe7EL0
I hear the chirping of the birds,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAE8JluXzykT
I hear their every songlike word.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAFjB9wioFSH
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAy8zNFuNDnU
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAS6UVJb1v6F
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1850Please respect copyright.PENANASl6JP183kk
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAxFLHSA0AdF
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1850Please respect copyright.PENANApetuwvi563
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA7SnnWHDSea
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAeeeRwC2Zro
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAYbSLxi7dAn
I like to take things nice and slow,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA0maNdNbgGT
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAXAoDZIFEBl
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAgPob3HIOIY
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1850Please respect copyright.PENANA2NyT7ii5hv
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1850Please respect copyright.PENANAJyx4MvOZxF
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAqDeYeNHQtg
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1850Please respect copyright.PENANADI9iVkQr6F
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAjSdk58PezN
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAULKgUznXJ8
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAiYQr4WYqvy
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA0tAVZ4qQ0p
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAYy7qJGF5Ky
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAJdp0Oxp8Yk
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.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAuwh9wHBrbw
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAu7mbP01ozH
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAfJdgmDnf3S
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAQB4aD0Fwr8
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAlpGFTvCOMz
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAJZIbJRmh7R
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1850Please respect copyright.PENANAs5mAPtfB0s
