It’s been a long day,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAuHEqCv3cuE
and I’ve got little to say.1440Please respect copyright.PENANA1pTCvCmZ1i
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAtwvc3EfrmD
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAg809n3CndJ
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31440Please respect copyright.PENANAMWNwFlpVsC
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ7rfgdlaY
1440Please respect copyright.PENANAq7mhtdBupJ
No words dared to part from our lips1440Please respect copyright.PENANAuX0YmwWz1I
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1440Please respect copyright.PENANARQ0VlPVH0X
We listened to Music together silently,1440Please respect copyright.PENANA926jGvOMYP
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAZMHUlNRDXf
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1440Please respect copyright.PENANA9V13DJQjUQ
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1440Please respect copyright.PENANATtIG2symxA
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1440Please respect copyright.PENANA47LQ7aGgOZ
I hear the chirping of the birds,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAtrfi0KZIAH
I hear their every songlike word.1440Please respect copyright.PENANATBGI2Rghf3
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAxHlBfqAz2H
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAoucVIsnpU7
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAb7LVO6PwNi
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAh5hUtomuMJ
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAyDaq1wOmOp
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1440Please respect copyright.PENANADxjmrcXpQc
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAmky16MFu0y
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAfYJVAYLqOr
I like to take things nice and slow,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAT2jvkgy0lv
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAiM9Bn3hd1I
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAxpXkpl8xxz
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAeigbXC2gUZ
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1440Please respect copyright.PENANAP61XoRt4nW
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAzthH5DNEaC
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1440Please respect copyright.PENANA6YOt0VUxgb
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAKAP7RtWOYK
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAIrXkqmfXrH
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1440Please respect copyright.PENANA1PZAm69w8F
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAapwJ9y4OM7
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAADq7WaL79Q
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1440Please respect copyright.PENANAwfdI4E2xgF
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.1440Please respect copyright.PENANANAtnHmrFI8
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAK672EoEYIM
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1440Please respect copyright.PENANA5JQ3M43l1T
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1440Please respect copyright.PENANA12EPWosDgm
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1440Please respect copyright.PENANA2pzDhHyHi6
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1440Please respect copyright.PENANAguJkpp2tGS
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1440Please respect copyright.PENANAyBJDWHH5iS
