It’s been a long day,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLmoW8cStv
and I’ve got little to say.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjdeAPizh
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zeD35a2uq
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK5eLRviwj
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93zZVW9zst
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qca4X7GZc
1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgxZFmAIEJ
No words dared to part from our lips1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgo9aj6Ez2
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhDyHrei4R
We listened to Music together silently,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzcLM96IYO
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupcUme4xqw
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbRS5mpELT
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZm5Vc0kkw
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokT8iyrGAf
I hear the chirping of the birds,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOBWG8uuz7
I hear their every songlike word.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh8kFAaCA6
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ4AYRtbAW
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3L0YmRjOY
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pyJGpKot2
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuY9RzfQET
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupfABvQkQ6
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjayRQytkbM
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxFIGNK7Bf
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLwijSnwvn
I like to take things nice and slow,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuN9BnHilHB
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKcK0AsI0u
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JTaDcqmYv
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SbV93ca1k
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFjTyD1qSl
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXX42apxgUo
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEZZj9cOQ9
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbShaZFSv6w
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4zMG1hCrc
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YvmYL6sph
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYnZ4vPV6j
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbvL8mvniK
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH0q8GUcWN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkdhYcVrZx
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdKTK225pH
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg79TRJZXj8
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc59hWZeYXL
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc2TA0950k
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl1p8HyFxe
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxkJ72QMKQ
