It’s been a long day,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA3z1djzCN1R
and I’ve got little to say.1850Please respect copyright.PENANA7Hknaz56Vb
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAR9e5ttEIyX
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1850Please respect copyright.PENANARQNQHzMNYf
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31850Please respect copyright.PENANAx6qLnFNZ4Y
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAywDXItpbPj
1850Please respect copyright.PENANAVzwTJwKsyN
No words dared to part from our lips1850Please respect copyright.PENANAPwgXUxjMqW
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAw5RVrErDJ3
We listened to Music together silently,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAB9X9dYj51b
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAcMxar8hdrb
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAYxVUKQbPWv
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAbXp6ot82rI
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAesSnp16kVW
I hear the chirping of the birds,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAX0SBgRvbPI
I hear their every songlike word.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAj2yO5IoS4N
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAck5gSCagIO
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAfwozB7zoMV
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAE8A8YZrpPZ
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1850Please respect copyright.PENANATGMhjHZlBf
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAs6Ygnt5Hki
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAINC636w1Rq
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAFcJ2pYMQr9
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAHZI34umQjG
I like to take things nice and slow,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAgGTjVOfkWy
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAISHWH4rKHU
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAiF2xCyCQ2V
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.PENANATxUH9PG7Av
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1850Please respect copyright.PENANAdAfHt1Bkty
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAJYXe7EJkF5
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAqMhczA5aqA
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1850Please respect copyright.PENANA3KNUxkt5Jg
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.PENANA7EHm0qpA2p
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAgI04apG1ON
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAc2tctMPWBL
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAlllVG9cgeT
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1850Please respect copyright.PENANAgTsJ7tKFBw
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.PENANAwg9Ax9RINr
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAIKLoQdjs4I
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1850Please respect copyright.PENANANY1cbZl8gh
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAk8uaBN7Hwg
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1850Please respect copyright.PENANAm3pmpcpq4Z
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.PENANAyyUnp9PzQx
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1850Please respect copyright.PENANAtHuqDErR4f
