It’s been a long day,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAAjFSomKcv1
and I’ve got little to say.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAjZfqXdxFrd
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAfjNE8svjCG
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1865Please respect copyright.PENANATHgrWvhVPB
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31865Please respect copyright.PENANAXHK862ww4d
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAeYKWqA27r7
1865Please respect copyright.PENANAavBb1FeXJk
No words dared to part from our lips1865Please respect copyright.PENANA54NL4MSpTi
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1865Please respect copyright.PENANA7agxN1l6oS
We listened to Music together silently,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAcLywLuvB9A
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1865Please respect copyright.PENANA6Hm1U3qAGI
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAcYjkC8suxI
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1865Please respect copyright.PENANA71dGr8Rj3P
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAp84TeDzLxe
I hear the chirping of the birds,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAyiJZlBMgpf
I hear their every songlike word.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAqXbN7qNYqv
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAnTszlnHiuD
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAcojfa2NlJ8
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAYoBW9S13xg
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAX9RnG107cb
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAsSUpnzu0cV
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAvGFXbWPKWP
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAt3xYeb6Gcz
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAjnJcrIg6ze
I like to take things nice and slow,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAmupWHAmz8Z
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1865Please respect copyright.PENANA6JX9aYUFji
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAHzRKseFT59
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAlQv8dpqYbl
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1865Please respect copyright.PENANAZbe1ouIgXu
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1865Please respect copyright.PENANA26SGMHxpTf
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAeAoMLSrLuC
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAUGTW1kUumJ
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1865Please respect copyright.PENANACJh0byuBCB
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAOHpAOECUud
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAmNizoEHBKq
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAGzQfdmVYa3
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAGgcud5irLO
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.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAGZEw5yeKBj
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAzmwlPeNJNa
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1865Please respect copyright.PENANAWT345KfiPX
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1865Please respect copyright.PENANA09Kpodj6Wh
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1865Please respect copyright.PENANAtp0Z5Kp5id
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1865Please respect copyright.PENANA3z6Se4tmoT
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1865Please respect copyright.PENANAYEKQDxlprA
