It’s been a long day,1829Please respect copyright.PENANANwXrx4wEQ9
and I’ve got little to say.1829Please respect copyright.PENANASGIyYqtLcm
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAz5TBI0N7YD
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5e5tG2OWm
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31829Please respect copyright.PENANAxr4QGM0gdZ
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAaIfGQebNau
1829Please respect copyright.PENANAbtjp50Iqoj
No words dared to part from our lips1829Please respect copyright.PENANADfc1jfNn8V
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAhuzhS0cRG2
We listened to Music together silently,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAxVuCIeaYK3
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAtL7iALYivl
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAuJbM7w8xE3
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAplyEJ30DJK
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1829Please respect copyright.PENANARNHlf6U1Ef
I hear the chirping of the birds,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAKfH2a0gwAj
I hear their every songlike word.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAjecnE9gvRX
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA8cem86GpLn
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA0o51ROsBKY
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1829Please respect copyright.PENANA1VnMlQzPmz
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA2tM5adHilC
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1829Please respect copyright.PENANA0Om5K54ndS
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAdGARFxI6uF
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAHxlFcinmqi
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAESg8p6HCr3
I like to take things nice and slow,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAFEaoaQA1L9
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAZHCWThKptP
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1829Please respect copyright.PENANA6xskwqaHXs
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAg7vRxXp4CZ
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1829Please respect copyright.PENANAUzbfaFBJkQ
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1829Please respect copyright.PENANARdsswwHB2j
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1829Please respect copyright.PENANADzCGOOhKR3
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAYj5U0FcNAF
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1829Please respect copyright.PENANATzcnhtAunZ
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAHuowyMNIFX
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1829Please respect copyright.PENANADJJPhaT6Ws
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAhYn7tDX9ox
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1829Please respect copyright.PENANANzVEdOKhhU
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.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAQzmjpv2Dn2
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAPnjVNUJeUn
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1829Please respect copyright.PENANAsA1vWNbwtT
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAjmMhsEmBAd
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAvG5ikNTmbr
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1829Please respect copyright.PENANAU4uadJmvvZ
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1829Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9f2WdkFGF
