It’s been a long day,1423Please respect copyright.PENANA2RcF1Ui3zY
and I’ve got little to say.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAuEa2BGeIhG
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAv9s0enW0Ca
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1423Please respect copyright.PENANADhsWYNZGak
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31423Please respect copyright.PENANAJJbs3F8uOJ
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAf9NY4tkD4j
1423Please respect copyright.PENANAMuT3zb5cSE
No words dared to part from our lips1423Please respect copyright.PENANAKdhXEPJo3X
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAeFwUsp4hLW
We listened to Music together silently,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAPpxMiumfX8
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAM11LpQUOrK
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAsX74vzWa9g
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAGdb4iC16xN
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAS9LAnNFNUg
I hear the chirping of the birds,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAkt6PKPglUf
I hear their every songlike word.1423Please respect copyright.PENANApqzKMXTqwn
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAh5vgINJsMQ
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1423Please respect copyright.PENANA8aagbPjr11
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAOzbTx27xkb
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAvlQJN1z2M5
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAfUCBuuTZu1
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAg3K9XQNyyL
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4EqPYrOph
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1423Please respect copyright.PENANA9AACaK0Moh
I like to take things nice and slow,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAzfRQN4pQoE
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAtx0NnzCKM5
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAqVJlR27Hh3
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAKwpiLV3Fkm
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1423Please respect copyright.PENANAzcVB7LpJsL
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAp2KzETym3t
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAWd4rQrjT7M
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAyGQBkFZbLJ
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAv1DYDG1Rmd
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAT9YD7zOl8o
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1423Please respect copyright.PENANA2JYp2mlkvd
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAdfaxSUB7VK
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1423Please respect copyright.PENANAMuNPMeSGvx
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.1423Please respect copyright.PENANADqUpHo8eBL
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1423Please respect copyright.PENANA815R1E5ZD6
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1423Please respect copyright.PENANARyfCOKXFvI
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAcVUSPhnzQ3
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1423Please respect copyright.PENANA4E1xTes2Uz
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1423Please respect copyright.PENANAxQV8QiPmbD
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1423Please respect copyright.PENANAaOKIe0K9Si
