Just Press Play

Author: Lakith Ranaweera

Press play. 

Click

The first beat, like a 

Pin drop, 

Reverberates all throughout my ears. 

Its ripples felt from the 

Helix 

All the way to the 

Cochlea 

(its spiral shape beckoning you to revel in the sound), 

Spreading like a waterfall ready to fill up my

Chest cavity with 

Fresh water of the 

Purest Form.

And still

It is not enough…

The melody, 

Timbre, 

Harmony, 

Instrumentation,

All part of a 

Limitless

Reservoir with 

Depths that can only be ventured by 

Listening ever so 

Closely and deeply

With nothing but your 

Whole self, 

Immersing yourself in its 

Essence 

Only to be drawn

Deeper and

Deeper and 

Deeper…
