It’s been a long day,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAxI7J9TchKa
and I’ve got little to say.1858Please respect copyright.PENANA93xA2M2RQS
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAUeLscXacgD
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAURui3LPmo8
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31858Please respect copyright.PENANAhDkbtmbqIc
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAxezZeYeYqj
1858Please respect copyright.PENANAHwT4RvQ0dM
No words dared to part from our lips1858Please respect copyright.PENANAIt71eU30KE
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAGizg2l3hfF
We listened to Music together silently,1858Please respect copyright.PENANADSEOva5xxc
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAgONG6ZB0a1
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAuaxiHHhigV
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1858Please respect copyright.PENANA0WwJwhloQl
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAe8HZO0mWnV
I hear the chirping of the birds,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAcS19mU1p4M
I hear their every songlike word.1858Please respect copyright.PENANA1gGsDMt4O8
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1858Please respect copyright.PENANACc40Z6lSa0
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAMrCumAyqpg
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAYM6mvR6cl1
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAF0T2h5vdgQ
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1858Please respect copyright.PENANALruz23Q168
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAGxO3BJvUqT
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1858Please respect copyright.PENANABfQNdt1uq1
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAinV8BIONVc
I like to take things nice and slow,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAA5AJwdd6fl
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1858Please respect copyright.PENANACSPcjt8UwW
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1858Please respect copyright.PENANA5hxs0NpntD
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAtpQnUBiQ7L
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1858Please respect copyright.PENANApWvoivRgo7
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAYAzLFA6pAA
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAsIsj7S1x8J
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAAY223Jszj7
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAR46h3xdDJj
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAalEzllcjP7
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1858Please respect copyright.PENANAac3qJYup5v
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAXHvEWx9q3j
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1858Please respect copyright.PENANA7m2WL1dsCx
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.1858Please respect copyright.PENANA86roYvt3oS
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAKDkUqFeaU8
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1858Please respect copyright.PENANA4mK7wviT1w
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAgBHrYeJxIJ
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1858Please respect copyright.PENANA8m527gNkfa
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1858Please respect copyright.PENANAMr3f4YKusU
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1858Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ60oNdnWB
