It’s been a long day,1785Please respect copyright.PENANARF1JTf1vnx
and I’ve got little to say.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAgvHkUkhA5r
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAlvXzNkWrXV
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAJysE043Xss
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31785Please respect copyright.PENANAr6AVbggipX
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAqvFQcfOTYx
1785Please respect copyright.PENANAeXKIxPDSIZ
No words dared to part from our lips1785Please respect copyright.PENANAb3cAxHIb7B
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAcmsZCrejgN
We listened to Music together silently,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAyeX80cSbrb
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAXNktNWb6kP
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAJomla4iGUB
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1785Please respect copyright.PENANALHL5mm0Nac
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAKxZF8fDun3
I hear the chirping of the birds,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAuwEtewMCQU
I hear their every songlike word.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAVR1xKq6iqW
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAYxWMkMfOMo
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAa0h6XrzDZ4
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAXt5teOaxzZ
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAUv72NfJQSb
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAMCcwTdRLGN
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1785Please respect copyright.PENANA3Cx8fvGE2E
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1785Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZnRl9knj6
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1785Please respect copyright.PENANASibbAmSqlv
I like to take things nice and slow,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ31tq3DGw
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAxgdZv4EtOG
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAKKuX6YXXVE
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAffSFHKa0X1
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1785Please respect copyright.PENANAIfEYO8Znrm
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1785Please respect copyright.PENANA3YiXhEvrK9
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1785Please respect copyright.PENANANqc8nOEf60
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAoG7hUYMhNy
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAEHZ1oEQXfM
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1785Please respect copyright.PENANANw5AejTkd4
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAVMqZZN0HD4
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1785Please respect copyright.PENANARgSHAQln8l
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1785Please respect copyright.PENANAKMzBTV7jmj
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.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAHaABWqa6GW
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAWsw4vDUhc9
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1785Please respect copyright.PENANA8lZhWyYnvM
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1785Please respect copyright.PENANATiOuaK8mEv
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAYojGa2x4sE
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1785Please respect copyright.PENANAWiL120VMa2
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1785Please respect copyright.PENANA5jmPy2T26C
