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
