It’s been a long day,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAD1AJPMTBcB
and I’ve got little to say.1459Please respect copyright.PENANADYIK4sD8RW
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAeNLS0d0Dc2
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1459Please respect copyright.PENANA8sKpws49nc
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31459Please respect copyright.PENANA7x3M84VfOL
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAhesiMSqPKi
1459Please respect copyright.PENANAwhvlJprxLY
No words dared to part from our lips1459Please respect copyright.PENANAwIslTVPNDN
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAti3Xkhnv2Q
We listened to Music together silently,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAbsoImmeS2I
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAikTOm1lW6w
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAfwxf4Jj6va
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAH74uiTFaXL
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1459Please respect copyright.PENANA369yqqwmcf
I hear the chirping of the birds,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAULLl6CY4rK
I hear their every songlike word.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAEF3Eelf2NF
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAePWDcx5yWy
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAiucuIjNazH
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAOoYXuA3S05
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAv5xLFKCjPI
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAb5TL0T3oWz
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1459Please respect copyright.PENANA7RH0xdaXf8
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1459Please respect copyright.PENANA76j0EoZNnY
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAfVhToXI9bV
I like to take things nice and slow,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAoWCEIlkT1y
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAnZkCX6Xgp6
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAFTSVzzC3E2
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAA8vgbvUHJa
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1459Please respect copyright.PENANAHqKr4s5FCI
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAfURGVw2yOS
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAaCU72ByZhc
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAaurbcLfCX8
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAKitRBSQjZj
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAaJowPP7Gdo
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1459Please respect copyright.PENANAVlHICHgIh9
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAxGtYeiAFRL
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1459Please respect copyright.PENANATSx0NwlaSd
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.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAATPyjMWe2v
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1459Please respect copyright.PENANA2G78YLqse4
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1459Please respect copyright.PENANA8yGofRLLki
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAKlLtNr0P4l
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAPgScQ8FTvN
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1459Please respect copyright.PENANAve7ipjNMCa
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1459Please respect copyright.PENANAKBQGRS6xYZ
