It’s been a long day,1399Please respect copyright.PENANApvYj1FPPrh
and I’ve got little to say.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAjmXXPriYJQ
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAWIZAeERPN8
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAGkqrQ63uSU
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31399Please respect copyright.PENANAUkxazax2wl
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAhX0KxauRQ5
1399Please respect copyright.PENANAtUP7sEnpMB
No words dared to part from our lips1399Please respect copyright.PENANA3VnAOrkPmA
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1399Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ov0LsYMQf
We listened to Music together silently,1399Please respect copyright.PENANApkUwMR5bX0
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAifpYbbc2bL
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAbh2A3BltnC
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAs4Fq7cGZ2x
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAUkQvGXANIX
I hear the chirping of the birds,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAbg9HjFtlWd
I hear their every songlike word.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAuUI891yMrw
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1399Please respect copyright.PENANA4Bw4rYRHMX
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAYklOpoPt6I
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAeXIbfO3Iw9
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAQqHI21At9H
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAa2DGrgq4tZ
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAXmNfAM2ckF
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1399Please respect copyright.PENANArAlLvXgHkS
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1399Please respect copyright.PENANA6qMEBR6eZp
I like to take things nice and slow,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAuFbNfvtViS
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1399Please respect copyright.PENANABfbya0fyR8
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1399Please respect copyright.PENANADBKkMOkYDI
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAow4xvHt7za
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1399Please respect copyright.PENANAjGUlCMmtct
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAiJ0hAbs0v4
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1399Please respect copyright.PENANA7a0zZA67kB
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAHb2XMoik49
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAVKSmLlKGk3
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAACI6gTwPhL
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1399Please respect copyright.PENANA8QsusEKquF
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1399Please respect copyright.PENANA1fL1JAVx2Z
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAlJQAcTmYlg
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.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAkfiQZtd5XZ
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ddu2NlB8
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1399Please respect copyright.PENANAtXEG6xaRya
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAlardqrhEvz
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1399Please respect copyright.PENANAM80u9teVxG
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1399Please respect copyright.PENANA1jqIldDv6o
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1399Please respect copyright.PENANAMETVEH6QjG
