It’s been a long day,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAzJDoBm6OMu
and I’ve got little to say.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAfRTQL5XDXM
The pressure of everyday life is getting me down,1436Please respect copyright.PENANALO9hO471zd
and I just need anything to break my pungent frown.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAx1Y44kCd5z
So, I grab my earbuds and my MP31436Please respect copyright.PENANAz9QKjRb3gv
and when I sit down for peace and quiet, he sits close to me.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAucHzYR2ATI
1436Please respect copyright.PENANAKROfxD6dM0
No words dared to part from our lips1436Please respect copyright.PENANA15QVdviFyn
as we avoid holding hands, yet sat tied by our hips.1436Please respect copyright.PENANA9ecYXK2iIu
We listened to Music together silently,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAeiNwkEGoKk
respecting the other’s company and space leisurely.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAd7xWgm4au1
I used to enjoy the rampant, bustling sounds of Music,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAiCUG4PN0ox
an experience no more or less fascinating than magic.
I keep the volume of the Music low,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAQj508st2Yr
so that I can hear the sounds of Nature and Music together flow.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAriOf6epwH0
I hear the chirping of the birds,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAnNHuxFLTjj
I hear their every songlike word.1436Please respect copyright.PENANA8asRaGiiHh
I hear the whispers of the breeze,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAg50ymAqEKh
as they brush their way past me and the trees.
The sounds of the world hum gently into my unbudded ear,1436Please respect copyright.PENANA6xYvuLN6kf
while my MP3 tries to consume all that I hear.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAaxHJK5P5z0
The Music playing was his favorite kind,1436Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vqz889768
and although it wasn’t mine I didn’t mind.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAMoDeBKVp5N
His music was quite chaotic and crazy,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ShDbnhvJ
while I preferred sounds more quiet and lazy.
It is why I preferred the tender sounds of Nature,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAJ33GmeBF3B
sounds that in my lonesome have come a long way from being a stranger.1436Please respect copyright.PENANA9wCUwzai2s
I like to take things nice and slow,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAqQoFvYaWy0
like how Nature takes its time to develop and grow.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAxCPOr7sQRm
But Music grows much too fast with no time to unwind,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAcNUwy0FjoL
and if you cannot catch up you’ll be left behind.
One would normally think that Nature and Music combined couldn’t blend.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAxCe0uGjgEx
However, the two forces together managed to call the other “friend.”1436Please respect copyright.PENANACO7OvetKF9
They grew up together from seeds to flowers,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAm76vMUg8qu
living life blissfully in the clouds like the tops of towers.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAWCNF38glji
You see, Music and Nature are one and the same,1436Please respect copyright.PENANA1k3OsDILkZ
but they are also as alike as a boombox to a flame.
The soft resonances of the natural world are Music to my ears.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAFRtBPaLfn1
They fill with me up with so many emotions, and even my fears.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAuU2qhinNYL
It reminds me of how scared I am to move on and let go,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAoeNQCdl2dh
all because Music grew up too fast and Nature too slow.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAy57SbgZN9L
As time can often move slow I may still be the same,1436Please respect copyright.PENANA5U5iWgyfFv
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.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAd0xGfokMWr
The world he and I shared splits apart hastily by an emotional fault.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAJo8urBvZ5N
We go our separate ways without uttering a single word,1436Please respect copyright.PENANAYXNln5viW4
and the lines between Music and Nature no longer seem so blurred.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAtAH8yaNHty
Music and Nature can go together, but there was something driving us apart.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAv415osnVRm
He and I in some strange, natural way could not fully love the other’s heart.
“Goodbye!” I finally reached him with a cry.1436Please respect copyright.PENANAT9a5fPqYbX
With a wretched smile he yelled back, “Goodbye!”1436Please respect copyright.PENANA1JwgQjP753
