It’s been a long day,1427Please respect copyright.PENANAV0wGoi62wM
and I’ve got little to say.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAR53QZHbVnO
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1427Please respect copyright.PENANA7avHeaUPmZ
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1427Please respect copyright.PENANA28zJZ7QIFG
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31427Please respect copyright.PENANASxGzfo8qdJ
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1427Please respect copyright.PENANABsxOxMOwL1
1427Please respect copyright.PENANAxBHFhyDP2Y
No words dared to part from our lips1427Please respect copyright.PENANAydQsDZW7X0
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAiJbAUYymLM
We listened to Music together silently,1427Please respect copyright.PENANA3vLXWjGmsF
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAlH0l4Hly6C
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1427Please respect copyright.PENANALyJjX4vTaN
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1427Please respect copyright.PENANARoK4wghHC5
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1427Please respect copyright.PENANArdWq5xPj6q
I hear the chirping of the birds,1427Please respect copyright.PENANAQTDsRDV5Q7
I hear their every songlike word.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6lLIoSFLx
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1427Please respect copyright.PENANAFuVFbC5bTL
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1427Please respect copyright.PENANA1ATfTrcoB6
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAudoyEUjNdD
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1427Please respect copyright.PENANAvOjxQMhA5W
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAvfpWIRZKHi
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1427Please respect copyright.PENANAW0YGtXttAJ
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1427Please respect copyright.PENANA8kbXQsCcQS
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAWAWkiApvG0
I like to take things nice and slow,1427Please respect copyright.PENANArusJPp35XL
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAo5FqZV6dFc
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1427Please respect copyright.PENANARSRG4OTvo2
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAxBRtvbDG3N
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1427Please respect copyright.PENANAgOSNcFlxie
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1427Please respect copyright.PENANAhXeHAYqlGl
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAHMybSBj9Ta
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1427Please respect copyright.PENANAqsV5DDtfvr
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1427Please respect copyright.PENANA9lsT6X828H
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAzdw0ZX8XQT
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1427Please respect copyright.PENANA3qPv24K93q
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1427Please respect copyright.PENANA4qCeMY6M08
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1427Please respect copyright.PENANASBY9Cl5zKr
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.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAv8RoPk6Uoe
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAbE2hlQEKC9
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1427Please respect copyright.PENANA00uTU4YSaE
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAlUBztzCZ47
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1427Please respect copyright.PENANAPcH1Lasq4a
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1427Please respect copyright.PENANA7bo0nnHcR6
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1427Please respect copyright.PENANA9hhAlWUR6P
