It’s been a long day,1420Please respect copyright.PENANANaaeJajIkQ
and I’ve got little to say.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAY7tkzCudvx
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAxZgEj4JMVj
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAEoww5gIM8m
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31420Please respect copyright.PENANAIXEgfBXXgM
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1420Please respect copyright.PENANABUS6rIVcen
1420Please respect copyright.PENANAFXFTmf03jz
No words dared to part from our lips1420Please respect copyright.PENANAfRXAiiMaMa
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAXHNTA3kDf8
We listened to Music together silently,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAHyHSAr6dLf
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAj5AAnD4Kpl
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1420Please respect copyright.PENANA4zevvHYA46
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAoahIWtL7au
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAhgb9TK0Czj
I hear the chirping of the birds,1420Please respect copyright.PENANA2bGlGEz38Q
I hear their every songlike word.1420Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tf9TuhISs
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1420Please respect copyright.PENANApNTj91dHGM
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAAJLlKw807B
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAuTxlTbMSUR
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAUAPDZye3TF
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAHPgceGwO5C
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1420Please respect copyright.PENANApVIKUkn3JO
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAx1xcJQjdsZ
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1420Please respect copyright.PENANARbf4lFwZBh
I like to take things nice and slow,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAISv0wAKfuT
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAgsdlP7rsko
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAtVYDzEfEg8
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAE5Pdia8WWx
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1420Please respect copyright.PENANAGNjzPIs3Ow
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAWdMufNr8xY
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAhze5JjfXRT
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1420Please respect copyright.PENANArCnuAYqxYj
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAB4EXpsJbf5
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAr4SFct2hrX
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1420Please respect copyright.PENANAdXeS9t87co
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1420Please respect copyright.PENANA34Dy99i5bx
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1420Please respect copyright.PENANATPopO1iLQ6
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.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAgUogi60BHG
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1420Please respect copyright.PENANA11rEjGc7nD
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1420Please respect copyright.PENANA3QUKAf4b4h
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAMIBXoKAOQa
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1420Please respect copyright.PENANA7IKOQdm1On
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1420Please respect copyright.PENANAl64O73fqiA
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1420Please respect copyright.PENANAWL8gGh6ffv
