It’s been a long day,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAjokS3fqtCr
and I’ve got little to say.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAKTqv04LqVE
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAiXAJQ0O2vn
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAZJhCRzn3N2
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31802Please respect copyright.PENANAiHOne9oCQ1
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Tmg2DV1E
1802Please respect copyright.PENANAO9pEnZUMRK
No words dared to part from our lips1802Please respect copyright.PENANAePGSe4Bem2
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAZNRxwle3Zh
We listened to Music together silently,1802Please respect copyright.PENANArKniUQ8XnS
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAeklKMq73Cx
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAVi3LzFuubF
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1802Please respect copyright.PENANANMZspL4wSI
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAHF2gFL0xv9
I hear the chirping of the birds,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAxPA2UhtSKh
I hear their every songlike word.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAuOv6c8kxSW
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAoayzuZiL7f
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1802Please respect copyright.PENANA6JBhuI4jFW
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1802Please respect copyright.PENANApIqdBZ1OQw
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1802Please respect copyright.PENANA32Kz3mzcD5
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAtldPqnwF1g
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAnbLjeOnf2u
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAeG6cxMMacs
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAJZtLLFIP2A
I like to take things nice and slow,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAlrCPt2euIh
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAdRNhkyaJ1x
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAFrfH2qAVAH
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAcRu7x9JShb
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1802Please respect copyright.PENANALEu3wHSE39
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1802Please respect copyright.PENANA3mg3XDzvbY
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAkn9GXzKoSm
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAyrxwBpPAki
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAC4RYQ75gye
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1802Please respect copyright.PENANATggn93yWJE
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1802Please respect copyright.PENANA9XeT0Wb0eo
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAWj6ZvTta9K
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAKBqDjOlCyB
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.1802Please respect copyright.PENANA0THJdBW1Zo
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAi0dHgVAVyR
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1802Please respect copyright.PENANAnJmjmmznJC
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAdhDkDLw3hU
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAJrvUBDWewJ
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1802Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0XTD0SXkP
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1802Please respect copyright.PENANAtGC59SYUtg
